Jan. 18th, 2022 09:51 amWinter! I didn't dare move my care all weekend because the roads had not improved at all. Yesterday I woke up to what looked like rain on my sidewalk, but it was SHEER ICE. It was raining, and it had been raining, and it was freezing. The roads were a MESS. In the afternoon, it switched to snow, and then the wind kicked up and the temperature dropped from around 37F to -20 overnight. On the plus side, my walk was a lot easier without having to watch for every little step, and the roads have firmed up, I think I could get my car back onto my driveway. On the down side, I don't know if it's gonna start, or if I'll be able to get it off the pad of snow its on.
Finished a knitting project last night. That felt good! I decided to tackle one set of sleeves, and I picked the plain ones bc they were half started (raglan style) and I could knit them two at a time. Now the sweater just needs to be blocked. I have the PERFECT shirt for it to go over.
And I always think that finishing a project gives me an excuse to cast on a new one. NO! Esp since I started looking at more sweater patterns. Finish your other sleeves, silly! THEN we can cast on one of the TWO sweaters I already have yarn for. I think I will do the lace sleeve next. The cabled ones are terrifying.
My semi-gift to myself (purchased with a gift card I received through a rewards program at work) arrived, and oh, I love it. I bought a LAMY Safari pen and a Sailor Moon notebook. The notebook is plain paper, which will be great for sketching notes and outfits. The pen is *delightful*. It writes so beautifully, and the ink is a pretty blue with a grey tinge (it came with it). I'm really happy with this purchase! Now I just need a converter, maybe a finer nib, and some pretty ink XD
