Winter Storm = Knitting

This was the perfect weekend if one was not planning on going anywhere.

Our first winter storm. We had 6 inches of snow, topped with 1/2 inch of ice. The snow was incredibly heavy and difficult to shovel. I have no pictures (too busy shoveling and pushing DH's stuck car off the street and into the driveway).

As it was the perfect weather for staying indoors, plenty of knitting happened in between laundry and a tiny bit of cleaning this weekend and I've finished some easy knits. (Click on them to see the colors up close.)

Scarf made out of Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted. Simple pattern of k5, p5 with slipped stiches on the edges. It's very "sqooshy."





The pattern for this is Amy Anderson's Hat Trick. The band is made from Artful Yarns Merino. The crown is Cascade 220 in a denim blue.



The last is a simple scarf out of Frog Tree Alpaca Handpaints which I had picked up on sale at 50% off the price. It is also a very soft, sqooshy piece of knitting.





The first two might be gifts, but the last may end up around my neck this winter.

(Note - this post edited. The pictures weren't appearing, so I tried again. Let's hope Blogger works.)
