Living somewhere as temperate as Seattle makes snow a novelty, particularly snow that sticks around for more than half a day. So taking pictures of it didn’t get old, even when being snowed in did.
Nate and the kids built a 6 foot wall of snow bricks.
and this is our entryway (see the purple and orange I’ve talked about? It has to go at some point, but I don’t have any color ideas), full of boots and coats.
So, I mentioned yesterday that I was doing some last minute Christmas knitting. I’d decided to make use of the pretty yellow Misti Alpaca laceweight purchased for my mom a year or so ago, and started an Angle Lace Shawl like the one I knit for Abby this spring. Well, it takes a LOT longer to knit than the Flower Basket, I now know. I’ve knit a Flower Basket in 16 hours, and while I thought the Angel would take longer, I also thought I’d have a shot at getting it done before Christmas.
Mom’s home now, and her shawl isn’t. But I’m starting the edging now, and we’ve chosen the beads.

Ooh pretty! Isn’t it fun getting all this knitting done? So glad the snow is melting though…
Did you ever sign up for the Yarn Train?

Ooh lots of snow. We never have snow here and always have xmas in summer. It looks as though you were building an igloo in that picture. How much fun making snow bricks. Your mother’s shawl looks so pretty. I cant wait to see how it turns out.

I love that shawl…and I wore that darling hat that Liv spun and knitted last night. Nobody can believe that she did all that. Yeah, she can do all that and more, just like the rest of those little ones…did I mention that Clark is the smartest little guy on 2 feet in Washington!
