We had quite the snowstorm here in Ottawa (and many other places) on Wednesday this week. Lots of snow, and even more importantly, lots of wind. So the streets were closed, the school buses not running, and we decided to spend the day at home with a fire going.
While there was some seating available outside, I decided that it would be a lot nicer to sit by the fireplace instead. I sat down to finish off a shawl I’ve been working on. It’s almost done – maybe another 15-20 minutes left of knitting, and…..
SNAP!
I sat down on my needles. So instead of being able to finish the shawl, I would have to hunt for more needles in the same size. I’m sure I have some, somewhere. 3.5 mm needles – anything would do – straights, circulars, even dpns.
But after a halfhearted attempt of finding a suitable set, I decided to do what any sane person would.
Wind some yarn and cast on for a new project. This is Glacier Ice from Rocky Mountain Dyeworks. A lovely laceweight yarn in a warm and sunny colour – exactly what I need to distract me from snow.
That colour is completely glorious! It captures the sun.
