The Nor'easter Took a Left

Hello on this spinach lasagna Tuesday!!

We had a boatload of snow yesterday - I'm thinking it's about 14", plus or minus a couple.  It's hard to tell because there was also a lot of wind and some lake effect thrown in there!  Fortunately it was well predicted so we had the chance to make a few preparations.

I've been telling my friends who live along the East Coast that we took one for the team - usually these snow cyclones head right for Boston and surrounding areas.  This one took a left due to some other atmospheric disturbance.

The double-layered Super Warm hat I made for OH last year (samoyed and merino on the outside, custom dyed and intentionally slightly felted; merino on the inside) kept his head warm and dry without overheating in the wind and snow yesterday, so that was a good choice.

I did some work on Pinion over the long weekend:


I'm enjoying the current garter stitch section, mostly because I don't have to remember to keep track of each row :)

I hope to do some finishing or similar so I have something different to show you other than slow Pinion progress!  

Stay warm, safe, and well :)

Colorful Booties and Socks

Image
It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

Wingspan, Part I

Image
I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
