East Coast Snow Ghost
Willow says, "Snow? I don't see no stinkin snow!"
Do you see the snow? Sadly it looks more like a bad case of dandruff.
Whoa Nelly - Snow on my face!
I'm soooo jelous of all the wonderful snow I see in all the blogs out there. It's wonderful to see the photos though. I miss virginia snow!
Chamonix Update, er Rewind
Well last night I was nearly done with my 3cm of 1x1 ribbing and I was so exicted to get to the st st because I knew it would go much faster. I realized however that for the first time in my life I had fallen victum to the dreaded twisted knitting in the round. This has never happend to me before, and I have always been weary of it. I think it's more difficult to tell when you have 316 stitches cast on a 24" needle. Yes I am nuts, a 316 stitch sweater. It's supposed to be about 44" round. I'd call that a challange! I see a lot of you guys just jumped right in and nearly took out 1/4 if not more of your projects within the first 2 days! Crazy people!
Hey Scout do you recognize that stitch marker? HEHE!! :D I'll have to post about that monday!
Update 11pm
I have made it to the stockinette and then some, so I am pleased. I fear though I am going to get extremly bored on this, like my Harry Potter scarf (slated to be finished for the NEXT movie hehe) so I'll need to have some really interesting TV/Movies to keep me going. Did you guys hear about Michelle Quan? So crazy, I was watching 4 years ago when Hughes won, it was soo amazing. I am not a Quan fan, but she is very talanted and it is very sad. I have always been into ballet and ice skating so that's the part of the Olympics I am really waiting for.

I miss Virginia snow, and I'm in Virginia! Once again, we were right on the line, and from the looks of your picture, we got about the same. :(

With 316 sts on a 16" needle it would be MUCH more difficult to tell if your knitting was twisted!
I've got the turtleneck of my sweater done. And I lost a day yesterday cuz I got sick. :( Luckily, I feel better today!

You are more than welcome to some of the 18" of snow I got starting last night.
Ugh sorry about the twisted start. If it makes you feel better, I cast on 291 st on a US3 needle Friday night for my vest. I'm nowhre near 1/4 of the way done! Though I am 4/6th of my way through the first color of the arrows :)

OK, don't feel quite so insane! I'm knitting my 1st sweater ever and I'm designing as I go along, but I'll send my sympathy to you today as long as you send it back when I screw up! LOL.

That picture of Willow is SO cute, I just want to give her a bog ol' kiss.
I try to avoid snow unless I'm on a winter vacation, so I think you're lucky to just get the dandruff!
