more snow, it’s winter here

Yep, it started again last night, and it’s still snowing.. up to 10 more inches by tonight.   When I went out at 10:30 this morning all the municipal plow trucks were driving around with their plows up (that means not plowing), the sanders spraying sand onto the 4 1/2" covering the roads, and people driving and sliding into snow banks to stop themselves ( or maybe because they could NOT stop themselves) everywhere.  Why weren’t they plowing?  I’ve got this theory that plow drivers don’t think they are appreciated enough.  So they ‘make ’em suffer’ so they know, that we know , that they are out there!  Whatever..  it’s winter, it’s snowing, and the cats really wish I’d leave the office and make a path to the cat door.  Independence.

Last night I checked two things off the knit list.  The Natalya wristers are finished, I wore them out today

and the second sleeve of the Weekend Sweater is done.  I realized that most of my hesitation to finish this sweater stems from this one problem.  Which side do I want for the right side.  Check this out.  The little rolled neck edge will match the first picture here.

  But, I like the second option better, the one that uses the ‘wrong’ side.

I like the rolled edge to roll under.  It won’t match.  I still think I’ll be happy.  Last night I passed around the finished sleeve and asked the question.  Everyone agrees, roll under.  So, the decision is made.  I’ll change the pattern ( what’s new??) and use the ‘wrong’ side.  I feel much better, now I can finish.

I’ve picked up the gauntlet, taken the challenge… my first recycle, rip it …
a project I made more than 20 years ago and haven’t worn in almost the same length of time.  I just never liked the fit, the shawl collar too, tooo shawly and the ribbing at the hips waaaaayyy too tight.  So here it is..

So there you have it.
