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 :)

There is an exquisite beauty in the way tetrodotoxin is made harmless to its hosts, the way a wasp moth vomits over its mate, or the way a mongoose withstands the venom of the cobra. To me, these are things worth exploring, so I do. " In his book, Macinnis endeavors to describe poisonous compounds and their science, relate which historical figures are implicated in the use of these poisons, and document how these poisons are referred to literature. He then attempts to weave all of these aspects together. Macinnis does indeed attempt to cover aspects of science, people, and all the history inbetween, but he does not seem quite able to cover everything in a consistent, coherent way. I think there is just to
