blizzard knitting

I am so happy to be home after a weekend spent in a hotel away from my two guys. I had a twelve hour shift on Friday and by the time it was over, the roads were too unsafe to attempt the hour drive home. So the whole weekend was spent watching tv, eating junk food from the hotel snack bar since every place in town was closed, checking in on my guys (who were also eating junk food) and knitting of course. Lots of *skyp*ing was accomplished:

cosmic skyp socks

And here is the beautiful winter wonderland that greeted me when I finally made it home:

our resident bunnies were having fun in the backyard

Norm the Penguin is finally in his element

I hope that those of you who were in the path of Jonas made it through safely. We were lucky to not have any major damage from the storm. Just sore backs and arms from all of the digging out that had to be done. Now to cozy up with some hot cocoa and knitting. I think I'll be boycotting junk food for a while though!

  1. We didn't get much, but they still cancelled school! Oh well, better sage than sorry.

  2. Wow! Not a good time to be trying to get anywhere. I'm glad you made it home safely if delayed.

  3. Wow. What a snowfall in your area. It's so different here for us west coasters when we get extreme rainfall. School is not cancelled unless there is a blackout and that hardly ever happens.

  5. Whoa, that's a lot of snow. I do love how those socks turned out. you're really selling that pattern lady! I love the accent colors on the cuff. Try not to beat yourself up about the junkfood as it sounds you probably worked it off with all that snow shoveling!

  6. glad you are all safely together again....sometimes, though, those guiltless opportunities are gifts in disguise....knitting with no reason to worry about making meals or shoveling the white stuff!!! You obviously took advantage!! ANd the socks sort of look 'winter wonderland-ish'! Good job!

  7. Glad you are safe now! The snow looks beautiful - so pristine! I love how you took advantage of your "getaway" time and managed to have some knitting done!

  8. Glad to hear you are safe. I can totally understand how much of a pain a storm like that can be, but it sure makes a pretty picture.
