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!
Wendy
Linking up with Judith for Mosaic Monday.
Thanks for stopping by!
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
ReplyDeleteLots 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.
ReplyDeleteKeep warm knitting and sip tea. It's raining here today and I'm reading.
Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday Wendy.
Hello Wendy, you do have a lot of snow there.. I am kind of glad the big snow storms are missing us.. It is the opposite here hubby loves the winter and I love the warmer weather... I hope you Dad is ok, sounds contagious whatever is going around.. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the yarn you're using! Such a pretty color for this time of year. Stay warm and snug....and hopefully inside! Sweet hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI want summer back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great week xox
ReplyDeleteI can't see anything wrong with hibernating myself. I'm guessing you are knitting a snow plow.

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
ReplyDeleteLot of snow indeed !!! And a lot on your table !! Impressive ! I agree knitting indoor in winter ...it's so cozy but I bet you're waiting for spring ... Have a lovely and creative day !
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrr! Keep warm Wendy, and happy knitting! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteThat 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!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Wendy, that really is an awful lot of snow isn't it!!! I think that staying in knitting is a great way to spend the day! xx
ReplyDeleteWow that's alot of snow!! your table looks very full. thanks for sharing the great pictures as always!x
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cold out there, I can't think of a better way to spend your day than snuggling up with your knitting needles.:)
ReplyDeletethat'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.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoyed the beauty of the snow-but not the driving in it
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! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeleteWe are buried in snow too, but you have shown so much of its beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteI love you blog by the way. I like the color scheme and the design. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLovely snow photos..we have lots here too (N.B.) Always good to have an enjoyable hobby. like knitting, in the winter.
