Yes, the weather-people are forecasting for ten centimetres of snow tomorrow. YIKES! So, I must finish my new toque (which is nameless, so I'll just call it the heavyweight toque because it's a heavier weight).
Yesterday I finished two more pair of the easy slippers - black ones for Peter and purple ones for Courtney (one of the three girls in Halifax). The purple is so cute, I can't wait to see how the pink ones and blue ones come out. I'll post pictures when they're all finished.
Also noodled around with a one-skein scarf for the girls' mom, in variegated Harmony (jewel tones), which I'll also be using for DS#1's Christmas blankie. The blankie will be on 8mm circs, probably 100 stitches wide - the scarf I tried at 40 sts on 8mm, but it was too wide, so I ripped it back and am doing 25 sts on 9mm - narrowed it up a bit and should get a good length out of the one ball.
So many projects I want to get started on, more shawls and socks (ok, the first pair of socks, since the pumpkin socks got frogged), and hats for friends, and eventually I really would like to make my sweater, gosh darnit!
First, I must finish my toque. It's going to snow tomorrow. WHEEE! I love snow, but hate cold. There's irony for you. Which makes me think of the argument between Alice and Humpty Dumpty, which I know has, "There's xxxx for you!" as the beginning, but I can't remember how it goes. I must have it printed on a nice poster for easy reference, really I should.
Wow. That was non-sequitor. And probably spelled wrong. I'm losing my English major credentials! Eek!
Go knit, silly wench. (me, not you nice folks reading this).

Oh, I don't know. If I'm told to go knit, I certainly will follow orders...
