I enjoy a good snow day, especially when it happens to fall on a day off work. Snow seems to slow everything down just a notch. It makes me stop to take notice from my window. Suddenly I see the odd shape of a tree or a lone coyote stalking mice on a silvery-white field.
Monday is usually the day I tackle routine household chores and shopping duties, but a heavy snowfall kept me home in the late afternoon. It granted me the opportunity to curl up with a cup of Mango Madness tea and my knitting.
I recently discovered two new favorite things for the new year: DavidsTea and color work knitting. Right now I am appropriately working on a hat called the Winter Forest Tam, a free pattern on Ravelry. I am knitting mine in Rowan Fine Tweed.
Winter Forest Tam - beginnings
So far so good.
Sounds wonderful, what a sweet pattern. I am almost jealous of your snow day … but not quite, we are in Mesa, Arizona in the sunshine. I always enjoy your posts. On Ravelry, I’m “Travellers08″ … 88 Stitches is frequently mentioned as a source in my projects.
Enjoy the sun! It’s definitely winter here this week. My inlaws are also in Arizona, and they called yesterday to say they were sitting by the pool in short-sleeves.
Nice. I’m doing some colour knitting at the moment, too. Unfortunately, no snow day for me…. just lots of worrying about trying to have to get from A to B to C to D in it. I do like it though – the snow – and it would be perfect if I could have a hot chocolate/knitting/watching the snowflakes day.
