Brrrr

Still no power at my house - but I have found a place to stay that has power (for now).  The power crews are supposed to start working today, but the 15 mph winds they're predicting for today can't bode well for all those icy limbs, even if the freezing rain has stopped.  Please send warm thoughts!

Tammy's got some great pictures of the ice posted on her blog here and here.

There are a few positive things going on around here - it's not all doom and gloom:

1.  The Sisterhood of the Traveling Stash box showed up at my house on Friday - yay! 

2.   I've been working on a new sweater for myself out of the remains of Cutaway.  Great yarn, great pattern, but poor finishing techniques doomed that sweater to never be worn.  So, I ripped it during a New Year's cleaning frenzy (with help from ym new ball winder!) and started a top-down raglan.  I'm well past the armholes at this point.  If I'm stuck out of my house for the rest of the week (with nothing to do and nothing else to knit) I'll probably finish the body of the sweater in no time at all!

Oh bummer. I hope you guys get power back soon. Knitting by candle light just sounds so old timey romantic...and not so fun.

I'm glad you're safe and warm and at least you have your knitting to keep you company.
