Settling in for the snowstorm...

Here in Maryland, it's been snowing for about 6 hours now - we're supposed to get at least a foot or two of the cold white stuff, and are all prepared to spend the weekend indoors. My kids were thrilled to get out of school early today (12:30pm), and came straight home to spend some much-longed-for time playing together on the Wii. This picture is of my youngest, Lucas (7) the weekend before Christmas 2009, enjoying the 22" of snow we got hit with.

I'm still plowing through my unfinished projects, and have 6 done, 1 frogged, and 4 left to complete. My hope is that by Monday, I will have only 2 left to finish, as I'm flying through Dillon's socks, and the baby sweater has about an hour of work left to do on it. After those are done, I will have the sleeves of Dillon's sweater, and most of a hat for myself - though I've thought about maybe just frogging the hat. We shall see!

I know my Ravelry project info on my sidebar over there --> says I have 5 projects (in addition to the UFO Crawl page), the Log Cabin Blanket is not counted in the totals I'm giving because it's an ongoing project, and not something I'm rushed to finish. Sure, it's been on the needles for more than a year now, but that's ok. Plus, the miles and acres of garter stitch that it entails would be enough to bore me to sleep, were I to work on it on a regular basis, but it's just right for when I have the urge to knit but little mental bandwidth to run with.

Here's the new yarns that I brought home from my trip last week: Trekking Maxima in ...something pretty, Malabrigo Sock in Impressionist Sky, and K1C2 Crock-O-Dye in a gorgeous brown that has no name. Loveliness!
