Monday Mosaic

The snow continued to fall throughout the weekend. Lots of driveway clearing and shoveling, but it wasn't as bad as we were expecting. Feeling exhausted today though. When we took Cody for a walk, he had such a struggle through the deep snow in the soccer field ... and so did we! Up to our knees in snow, trudge, trudge, trudge ... good thing I like winter ... unfortunately, my husband does not. :[


Our shed and patio table are holding a lot of snow. I think the table is nearing its load capacity!


There's a gastro epidemic sweeping through my dad's nursing home, so all visitors have been banned until they give the all clear. I found myself home with an unexpected day to do whatever I wanted ... a nice break from winter driving to see Dad. I decided to put some yarn to the needles, and after a lot of calculating aggravation, have got into full swing with knitting. It's always so nice to knit indoors when the winter snows are swirling around outside the windows ... cozy :)


I'll reveal more when I get a little further along. It involves some cables, which I love to work on, and then it's just straight knitting back and forth, back and forth. Lately, any knitting I've been doing has been on DPNs in the round. This is a nice change, although the needles seem huge after the tiny needles I've been using.

Well, that's all for today ... short and sweet!

  1. Thats a lot of snow on your table! I love the color that you are knitting with. Knitting always sounds so cozy in the winter. To bad I can't knit a stitch! Stay warm

  2. Lots of snow this year which is likely needed to top up the lakes and rivers. For a few years Lake Simcoe was down but the last couple with the snow, it has come up again.
    Keep warm knitting and sip tea. It's raining here today and I'm reading.
    Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Wendy.

  6. I can't see anything wrong with hibernating myself. I'm guessing you are knitting a snow plow.

  7. Wendy as I look at all of these snowy scenes, my heart goes out to you. IT is beautiful, but not easy to deal with.I am so glad that I can look out today at my geraniums and it is 72 degrees. I missed the snow for several years when I moved to Texas, but soon found out if i just visited a snowy place for a few days, I was over it! Hugs to you, and keep warm

  10. That is a lovely colour wool. I love knitting cables. I always love the different texture they add to a garment. Trudging knee deep in snow..my goodness you must be fit. I'm with your husband, I much prefer the warmer seasons, though your winter wonderland does take one's breath away with it's beauty!

  14. that's allot of snow-we have none at all this year-we don't usually get allot but we have had nothing at all-lots of very cold weather coming in.
    I always enjoyed the beauty of the snow-but not the driving in it

  15. Hi - just discovered your lovely blog. Happy to see but not to have all that beautiful snow. I will stop whinging about how cold it is here now in NW France! :-)

  16. I'm a Southern girl and have never had to live in snow. I think it is nice to visit for a short while but I definitely could not live with it for very long. Looks like we are getting dust here again. Ugh! I tried knitting but just didn't work out for me. Crochet seems to be so much easier. At least for me. ;) Best wishes, Tammy

  18. Your pictures are so lovely. I am into yarn work too (crochet) and I love taking my pics while snow casing some snow. Thought, why not! It makes a good background... Isn't yarn work a super relaxing hobby? I find it cheers my up during the winter. Thanks for sharing.
