Snowed All Night

Anyone for a picnic in the snow? (And remember only two weeks ago it was pouring with rain?)

This morning I already knew there would be no school, because the teachers are supposed to attend a mandatory training session Thursday and Friday. I wonder if it was cancelled.

I just let Ajax out and in, and the snow is now up to his belly. Marguerite's Pappy has it a little worse.

I finally got back to the socks I was knitting from the Online yarn I bought last July. Yesterday after shovelling the driveway and raking the roof, I was determined to finish that last inch of ribbing, so I picked them up and knitted three of four needles on the first sock, and found this:

Yes. A knot.

A knot, right inside the middle of the ball. And not only a knot, but a shift in the color repeat. I was right at the end of the five shades of blue, and looking forward to ending in dark green. Hah. Instead it went back into blue again.

After some disgusted muttering, I overlapped the ends and knitted on. I've finished Number One except for casting off, and last night I would have finished Number Two, except it was getting late and I was tired enough that I kept mixing up knits and purls. Time for bed!

I think this morning I'll knit those last few rows before going out to deal with last night's dump of snow.
