First Snow 2025

Image
 Our first snow of the season here in Alaska.  It arrived overnight on Thursday night and early Friday morning.  We found six plus inches of snow on the ground complements of Mother Nature.  Unfortunately the snow here is too dry to make a snowball.  Just white, light and fluffy.  Nothing like the snow I grew up playing in. Still I will enjoy looking out the window at it and let the crazy drivers get accustomed to driving on snow again this year.

mittens

Finished my first pair of mittens in five years.  They will go into the donation box.  I am sure that some young girl will be happy to get them.  They are small and I am not sure they will fit and adult.  But whoever gets them should be happy with them.  I am considering joining a mitten mystery knit-a-long.  It has already started but they are only on clue two and I am sure I can catch up, also, it looks like they are only making one mitten at a time.  At least by starting out behind I have an idea of what the pattern is looking like and maybe pick different yarn colors.  Since I am trying to work from my stash I don't always have a good selection of colors to work with.  But I will make what I have work for this project. It has been another cold day here.  The last I looked it was still -6 degrees outside. Glad I don't have to go anywhere.  Karyn even made and delivered my dinner!  Beef and broccoli over rice it...
