. . . a knitter & spinner's journey

I am very, very confused . . .

You see, I’m not sure what month it is. Really . . . the calendar says January. Last week we got 18″ of snow. Beautiful, fluffy white snow. The world was a winter wonderland and it felt like the first part of January.

Sunday came and with it warmer air. The snow began to melt and caused a nice thick fog. By Monday, we had hit 60F and the snow was gone. Last night, we had severe (yes, I said severe) thunderstorms and even tornado warnings! Here is a shot of the radar from around 10:30pm last night. It seemed like the middle of August with all the lightning and thunder going on. I hunkered down in the basement rec room and knit.

Today, is still wet and rainy but warm. They are calling for another high temperature around 60F. Then tonight the bottom drops out and it starts snowing again.

Mother Nature must be going through PMS or something. She can’t seem to make up her mind and it has left me very confused and befuddled.

Despite my confusion, last night was a wonderful knitting night. I am zooming along on my Mystic Waters Shawl. The KAL has finished but I’m still plugging away at it. I want to get as much done as I can over the next couple of weeks because the Secret of the Stole II starts on January 18th. I need to swatch for that yet too. So much lace, so little time. I am planning on using my Malabrigo Lace yarn in the Dark Earth colorway for this one. I will leave you with a progress pic of my Mystic Waters Shawl . . . I am totally in love with this pattern!

I totally hear you about the weather. It was so hot in our apartment last night I almost turned the air on. Then I remember it is January and refused!
