Snow Days
Work was delayed an hour and a half today due to yesterday's snow and ice accumulation. It's been nice having a little bit of time to sleep in. I had a midmorning doctor's appointment today and I ended up waiting around over 2 hours, but, it was a good thing. I spent the 2 hours working on leo and I have to say that it is really coming along nicely. Leo is officially 11 inches tall now, which is only 6 inches from the arm shaping! It seems to grow so slowly, but its an easy pattern and I don't have to count or bring along a pattern. Clapotis is a little closer to the decreases now too, I think I only have 3 repeats of the straight rows left. Dropping stitches is still a blast, though. Next time I make it I'm not using the Orchid yarn it has broken on me 3 times already. I don't knit super tight and I haven't been snagging the yarn on anything, it just seems to randomly get really weak and completely break apart, what a bummer! Its such a pretty color of pink, like fresh berries, which is rather refreshing in this cold weather!
We had the first Yorktown Knitting Meetup tonight, there were 4 of us! Well, if you count my mom and Jered :) Another member came too, she is a fairly new knitter and I taught her how to purl tonight. It was really nice actually having someone come to the meeting! Hopefully we'll grow a little over the next few months.
I'm hoping for a snow day so i can stay home and take pictures of leo, clapotis, floyd and jinx. I suppose we shall see if tomorrow is a picture post!
