Walkin in a Winter Wonderland

Photobucket

Yesterday that song kept buzzing in my head. It was the perfect snow day. Idyllic really. I walked to the bus, then hopped a bus to work (well waited 30 minutes in the snow really, but who's counting). It was a quiet day & with more snow than this city has seen in oh about 12 years.

It snowed again last night, and so this morning there was even more snow!
By our walkway which is shovelled, the snow comes up to just below my knee!!
I absolutely love it! I don't even mind walking in the snow.

Oh & there has been some knitting around here lately too...
Mostly just baby hats for Mothering Touch.

I am loving knitting for toddlers. The designs are all my own ideas. I am sort of free-form knitting the tops of the fruits, the bunny ears, etc.

Happy snow day to all! & I hope all who are graced with this winter wonderland of snow are warm & safe :-)

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Ever since exams finished on Monday, knitting has been happening...

I love the little stem and leaf I improvised on this little lemon cap.

The green on is now a finished lime cap, more photos to come some other time.

The first snow of the winter hit us several days ago. It was close enough to have some of us wishing and daring to hope for a White Christmas, which if you are from Victoria, you would realize is exactly not "like the ones I used to know". I can't remember ever having snow for Christmas, and I have been here for 24 years.
Actually, I think this dump is more snow that we've seen in a long time, which by the rest of Canada's standards, is not very much. But to us fairweather Victorian's it seems like a lot!

It is supposed to snow again today, but so far it's just been the normal old wet precipitation, and not the snowflake variety.

These are some stitch markers I've been working on making up to sell. They are polymer clay, baked, and then painted and glazed.

Well, I think I should go make some breakfast now.
happy knitting,
