I want to Stay Inside and Crochet
Who wouldn't want to be inside them you have this lovely yarn begging to be used. They were b-day presents. The yarn on the left is Malabrigo in violet from Uncommon Threads . I bought it with my birthday money, not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I've been having lots for fun snuggling with it. The yarn in the middle is alpaca dyed by Cherie Anne Designs. I love alpaca yarn. It is like the Malabrigio in my stash, I've been happy to snuggle with it. The last yarn is sock yarn. I'm not sure who makes it but it's cotton and will be socks by summer.



So, why am I so determined to stay inside and knit. Other than, Hello!, I have yummy yarn to play with. I want to stay inside, drink coffee and knit because the weather outside is icy. I love snow, but ice is so not my thing; even if it does make the tree out front look pretty.

When the Weather turns Cold

Oh when the weather is outside is frightful, your hands will be warm and fashionable, with your new gauntlets you glow, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
The fingerless gloves in the picture I started to make for myself. I almost has the first one finished when a customer stopped by and saw them. Needless to say, my gauntlets were sold before they were finished. They are made from a recycled yarn with a fiber content of cotton and ramie. I love the colors, they are just so fun. I have enough yarn left over to make myself a pair.
They are perfect for the joyful weather coming our way. According top the weather-dude there is snow coming our way. As soon as the first flakes show up tomorrow, mass chaos will ensue. I love snow, I always figured that if you have the cold, at least you can have the snow to make things look pretty. Besides, I prefer to drive in snow rather than rain.
I can tell I'm getting old. After I picked my car up from it's inspection, I stopped at the local grocery store to get gas. The store has this thing that if you spend so much you get 10 cents per gallon off. It's been a while since I cashed in my points. I paid 69 cents a gallon for gas, yes you guessed it, my car now has a full tank (the first in a long time). Hubby scanned his card and got gas for 89 cents a gallon. We compared how much me paid and just kept giggling like school kids. With gas at $3.09 a gallon, this was a big thrill for us. I think we need to get out more often.

Blessed Imbolc
A blessed Imbolc to one and all. May Brighid bless your hearth with joy, comfort, and love.

On a related note, the stupid, furry rodent, I mean weather predicting groundhog did not see his shadow this morning. Yeah! An early Spring! Of course, we got a nice coating of snow today. Everything looks so pretty and glittery white. I love when it snows.
