storm stayed!

 We've got a big old "nor-Beaster" bearing down on us with 110 km winds and snow. It's a blizzard out there.  What's a girl to do , but keep herself busy...right?  Here are our fur kids.  Faith and Tigger in the top picture..our DD # 1 took these pictures and had them put on canvas for us for Christmas.  The picture below is of Walker, her little fur kid and he is the snuggliest dog I have ever seen. Actually asks to be picked up and cuddled...I love it!!!  Now if I could just teach the 'girls' to do the same.
 I don't know what it is about knitting in the wintertime.  I always get the bug.  I saw this pattern on Ravelry and had to give it a try. If you're a knitter then you know how important it is when knitting in the round to have the right size circular needles.  I did not with this hat and it was a pain.  However, I do love Intarsia and this was a bit of a challenge. Sometimes it is a good thing to  push yourself a little.  Worst thing of all, though, is this hat is too small for me and I have to sell it...oh damn!!!  or give it away....hmmmmm!

What a shame it is so pretty. I don't knit at all never have tried it.

Hmmmm, just how small is it? Wondering how big your head is, or how small mine is...? Is it too small for an adult head? I love it....
Don't you love a storm day? I always make bread.. yesterday was oatmeal brown bread, served warm with chili for supper.. true comfort food...
Do your girls like going out in the snow?
