No Snow Here . . .

There has been very little snow in my corner of New England this year. While it has been nice not to have to dig the car out and worry about slippery roads, I have really been missing my snow days! I love having a surprise day off work with nothing planned, and I hope I get at least a couple before the winter is over. I did have last Sunday off work, and even though it was a planned day off the only thing I planned to do was knit, watch mysteries on DVD, and snack on this lovely spread of Wensleydale cheese, hazelnut chocolate, and red wine.


The perfect day off!


I have gotten quite a bit of knitting done lately. I finished the lace scarf I was knitting, or more accurately I run out of yarn. It is not long enough to make the scarflette/neck warmer I was planning, so I think I am going to sew a lining and make it into a little clutch. I am pretty pleased with the way it came out anyway for my first try at lace, and look forward to making more lace projects.



My shrug is coming along quickly too. I am really enjoying knitting the chevron pattern too. It is simple enough I can chat or watch tv while I knit, but not so boring I am tired of it. I am hoping I will have this finished by the end of the month.
