I didn't expect that....

I have been promised snow by the weather men numerous times this winter and it hasn't arrived. However, as I planted out two new clematis and passion flowers on Tuesday evening it was bound to snow last night. This is what I woke up to this morning

Most of it has melted now, so no snowmen for me, but I hear there maybe more on the way later....
It has been really sunny this morning so I took some pictures of the progress on the Cranford Socks. What do you think?


Right, I must go, as it is"spring cleaning" weekend at Ruth and Tony's. After a very very long time Tony's house is finally finished, we have carpet on the stairs and everything :0)

Finally, Non has sent me pictures of Carys in her birthday dress which I just had to share.

A strange week...

It has been a strange week. It snowed on Sunday. Luckily it wasn't this heavy when I was driving back from Sunday lunch or I would have been quite scared! (As I am quite rubbish when it comes to driving)My poor little car getting all cold....

Then I realised it has taken me nearly a month to knit one Christmas sock for Tony. What is going on? And more importantly how I am I going to finish the other one and a pair of knee highs by Christmas?

Then I managed to pick up too few stitches whilst watching the TV on Sunday evening... spot the deliberate mistake?

Don't worry, Nellie will have two legs the same by the time she is finished, I thought Ysolda might want to see my wonky attempt at her Elijah pattern (which is fabulous BTW - all of those Jean Greenhowe dolls I knitted flat, why??)
However I have snapped one of my Brittany Birch needles that Adele sent me whilst knitting Nellie :0( So now I am having to knit with one 2.5mm and 4 2.75mm needles and DK yarn, which is kind of hard going!
Finally, here is one Christmas present that is finished. Kai by Louisa Harding in Rowan All Seasons Cotton for a little man I know.

Meet Boris

After a day at work what is better than to come home and build a snowman?
Nothing, apparently, by the look on my face!There was virtually no snow in Wolverhampton when I left for work this morning. It snowed all day in Birmingham and there were lots of teenagers by the cathedral at lunchtime building snowmen and throwing snowballs, I was very jealous. I came home tonight to about 2.5 inches of snow. More than enough to build Boris.
Token knitting content - the Posh Sock that is now mine instead of Tony's.
Have a good week. I'll be back with tales of the Eden Valley next weekend.
