More SNOW

I don't want anymore SNOW! We are forecasted for 6-12+ inches of new snow starting Wednesday thru Thursday........I can only hope the weather people are incorrect! We had a hint of warmer weather and it was so nice, muddy but still hopeful for a hint of Spring, birds and sun, BUT please no more snow.

See what we have left here in Vermont and some friends who also have had enough.

            Can you see Mr. Deer daring me to come closer in my car?
There were 3 others but they ran across the road, I was able to get my iPhone out in time for Mr. D

           Here are three and the leader of the pack was off........ see all the snow, hard to believe more on its way :  (                              

Captured this photo early this morning, sun breaking through the heavy sky.

I have been busy, none the less, with wedding plans, securing the date for the wedding, rehearsal dinner and hotels, inns and B&B's for people to stay.

Now there will be a lull for some months before all the details: gown, dresses, tent, photographer, food tasting etc.     

< Wedding date June 20th, 2015 >

Just popping in to I guess complain about the long winter. Thanks for listening. Thanks for visiting. We will be escaping soon for a warm weather break, so I have no reason to be this way, but I'm certainly feeling the winter blues or at least having cabin fever!!!

Take care dear bloggers,  xoRobin

"Hint"

Sweater Weather

Boy, has it been cold in the New England area of the United States. Negative degrees in the early morning and nights. Most days we are just reaching 12-18F, not too much snow on the ground but we do have some and ice. My husband went off the road the other day, just due to black ice and negative degrees. Not to mention it's so early when he leaves the house they hadn't even sanded the roads yet.

He was fine, by the way, just an inconvenience and a scare when I saw him back at home again, without the car. Oh, forgot to say it happened just half a mile from home and it was in a ditch. We had to call Triple A to get towed out. But all is well and we are thankful it wasn't worse.

 So due to all this icy cold weather I get to wear all my warmest sweaters and have been knitting them too. Great to have yarn as a hobby with winters like this one. I finished (almost 8 year old) Abby's cardigan and am very pleased. Here's a finished photo.

                                                                     Abby's Sweater

Pattern: Heirloom Stitches, exclusively distributed by: deep south fibers   "Ragman"
This was a really fun pattern to knit up, very easy and a very classic design.

Made with size 10 1/2 knitting needles and 10 1/2 double tipped needles, Cascade Yarns 128 Superwash, 100% superwash merino wool
This is a size 10,  6-1 inch Buttons

                                                     Nannie's label, love to put labels on
                           Actually this is the truer color, lighting in the winter is never the best



Then I made this 18-24 month same pattern for a future baby. Planning ahead. It's just such a great pattern and baby sweaters knit up so quickly. The yarn is the same Cascade Yarns 128 superwash chunky.

                                     I added a crocheted border to make it more a baby girl cardi
                                                                            (picot stitch)


I think I'm going to make a sweater for myself next, if I don't get sidetracked with other projects. I can dream!!!

We all need flowers to brighten up our long winter days. Tulips have appeared at my local food shop so they hopped in my cart :  )

        My amaryllis is coming along and my Hyacinth also but it has been extremely slow..........
I've been trying to be patient, really I have........................

                                                                      Shear ICE

                              Forgot to mention there were two cars off the road, not just hb's
                                          (he would be happy I mentioned that detail, hahaha)



Well, "Me Ladies" I guess that's all for now. Do take care, enjoy your day, thank you for visiting and as always thank you for your sweet and cheery comments. They mean so much to bloggers, Right?!
