Oh Snow!

So Michigan weather is pretty iconic for being "swift changing." It's the kind of place where one day it is 80 degrees and sunny and the next day we have 3 feet of snow after a freak blizzard.



So I suppose I shouldn't really be surprised that it snowed today...even if it is only the beginning of October. But I feel like I should be stringing up lights and practing my caroling. I mean seriously, it isn't even Halloween yet. Just a few days a go I was sitting in the sun...and could almost describe myself as HOT. Now...I am wondering if I brought enough hats mittens and scarves. And to think I packed a skirt! I have a feeling that puppy isn't leaving the suitcase. And once again, I couldn't be happier to be a knitter as we are so prepared for things like snow when the leaves haven't even had a chance to change color!



These wool socks I am knitting I am sure will prove to be very handy indeed. The pattern, Baudelaire, is a very entertaining knit. And I am really enjoying watching my handpainted yarn change color with every stitch. They are a little on the big side, but that is my own fault, my gauge is a little off, but I was too stubborn to use a different yarn. Now that I am back working full time, the knitting progress has slowed a bit, so I think I better go hop to it!
