Sorry guys, no pics this time. I've been somewhat busy with school work and haven't had much time to take pics or even do a lot of knitting.
I've been working on Get Ziggy, and have the majority of it finished (it's a quick knit), but I need to finish it completely before the 30th. The sweater is for my best friend's sister who is having a baby in December, and her babyshower is on the 30th. I have no doubts in my mind that it will be finished before then - possibly even by this weekend.
Today we had our first snow of the season. There wasn't much at first and it was only sticking on the grass. However, it was windy and cold too. The snow was a wet sticky one, so it wasn't the nicest really. The day was quite blustery, and even tonight it's the same. I have a feeling the roads are probably somewhat slippery out there. The salt trucks haven't been around yet, but I'm sure they will be by morning. Thankfully we have someone come and plow out our driveway, so we just have to do the front step (2 steps) and the walkway...and the end of the driveway if the plow goes by after buddy has already plowed the driveway.
So, I realized I needed some protection on my hands. It was mightly cold cleaning off the car - even though it didn't take too long. I started a pair of mittens for myself using sock yarn. I know they might not be the warmest, but they will suffice for now. I only got a few rows knit on the first one this morning, however. Then I had to go to class. Hopefully it won't take me long to make these puppies!
Well, it's been a bit since I've posted and just wanted to d o a little update. Hope to have some pics of my WIPs to show you soon!
Happy knitting!

This is defiantly the busiest time of year ... even without babies due to be born.
Get those fingers & tootsies covered with wool or alpaca this year. It's going to be a cold one.
Hubs was in Moncton last night and called me from the snowstorm! He came through the Cobequid Pass this morning right after it opened, and he said the roads were nothing but a sheet of ice. Luckily we haven't had any snow on the south shore yet, and I hope it stays that way! A little for Christmas is all we need. :)
We havent seen snow yet! A first!
Can't wait to see your Get Ziggy!
Do you have tons of snow NOW?? We sure do!!
