Snow Day! and Lookie!! Lookie!!

It REALLY...FINALLY...SNOWED last night! Hooray! A deserved snow day...there are some sad stories to report, tho', specifically the fact that a car plowed down the hill (towards my building) and slammed into 2 cars pushing one of them into a third. Everyone is fine, but the car that was pushed belonged to the smoking neighbor (who is now smoking more than ever) and the car it was pushed into belonged to my upstairs neighbor who is a cool gal (and who is also superintending my move, the sweetheart!). Can you say someone is UPSET? OH MY. She went out to go to work today and discovered the smoker's car had her wedged in...and a note from the real culprit saying "the police say you should move your car first" which was stupid - she was up in against the curb with no where to go. (sigh) News at 11, as they say, for I went back to bed and missed most of the excitment!

Now...remember these? The Christmas yarn from DD and my DGSs?

Well, yesterday I bought this and this from the lovely Anne (she of the Wing o' the Moth which is on my to-do list, no I haven't forgotten! teehee...just a tad bid overloaded at the moment....)

But I thought perhaps the Fine Cabled Mitts would work up in one or both of the Wildefoote colors...still unsure about the Misti Alpaca Sport weight. But I love it, it's so soft...

Anyway - I did not buy yarn. These will come from stash (even if it's a laceweight that I have some odds and ends of) and I wish I could twitch my nose and have one or both pair of those mitts completed, b/c my hands are COLD! (yes, with the smoke, the windows are open, and the fans running - AGAIN!)

Stay Warm!
(And I'm knitting...on the GMM (CTH) feather & fan socks, the Sockret Pal socks, and the Peace Fleece Lacy Prairie Shawl...but no pics yet...soon, I promise!)
