Jean got her power back at 4 pm & mine was back at 4:30. I think this is the longest I’ve ever been without electricity – basically since Wed AM with about a 4 hour return that evening until today, Sunday. The silence was wonderful – but it is nice to be connected again. Thanks for all your comments. We need a celebration this next week. hmmmmmmmmmmm
It’s Sunday and I’m sitting at the shop – both John ( my husband) & I are sitting at computers catching up on work. It seems good not to be shoveling snow. We still don’t have power at home, but that will soon be resolved as the town is full of trucks from Michigan ! I thought the storm would have been a great time to get a lot of Olympic knitting done – but shoveling and tree removal takes a lot of time and energy. My sweater back and fronts are blocked. I’ve been listening to Andre Agassi on my Ipod while knitting the sleeves. So hopefully I’ll do some sewing and pick up the bands tonight – but I’m down to the wire and I may not finish. I haven’t even been able to watch the Olympics !!
Everyone here is safe and healthy – I’ve seen Jean (who doesn’t have power yet, either) and Meghan. Can’t wait to see you this week !! We’ll be revising that class schedule again.
Saturday at the traffic circle
Sunday at the shop
One of the reasons we don't have power at home
Well – I have put aside both of my long term projects to work on the sweater that Martha convinced me to make for the Olympics. I love the sweater – The Verde Sweater from the Mirasol Collection out of Nuna – a blend of merino wool , silk & bamboo – and as you can imagine it soft with the most beautiful sheen. Back is done, 1 & 1/2 from and the sleeves have been started, barely. Do you think I’ll make it ?????
This is where I left the Harlequin Coat – in progress – one sleeve done and the other started. I’m using Plymouth’s Worsted Merino Superwash – and I love knitting with it. As soon as the Olympics are over and I get back to my regular sleeping habits, I will finish this project !
Meghan loves to knit in the round and loves color. She has become quite a whiz at steeking and will show you how this weekend, Saturday Feb. 27 at 1 pm in her steeking class. Click on the link below to watch Meghan cutting open her latest sweater – a beautiful yoked sweater made with Plymouth Galway.

Meghan cut the steek during a Wed night sit & stitch – hence all the background chatter !!
