More freakin' snow

I know that it's still winter, but really--I'm tired of the snow and frozen stuff that's been falling here on Long Island. (I'm also tired of the snow up in Vermont, but snow up there is normal this time of year.) So, since more snow's on the way, I think a new chapeau is in order...


That's the beginning of the One Day Beret, which I'm making in some lovely Yarn Crack Malabrigo I bought last year at The Village Knitter.



Now, there's no way that I could finish this in one day--I just don't knit that fast. But I'm thinking with what I got done today and will probably get done on the train tomorrow, this could be done by Tuesday morning--just in time for the next snowfall.

Today I went to Panera to knit with my Ravelry buddies. Kelly commented on the icicles in my last Eye Candy Friday picture. Some of those icicles would make really scary spears. Well, here's a close up of another one--just for you Kelly!

Those are just insane icecicles!!! Like my mother used to say "Don't stand under them". But we never had icecicles like that!!! Great beret too!! Yep I am not a fast knitter either, so it's a 3 day beret for me I am sure!!

They sat we're supposed to hit 50 on Sunday. That would be nice, if it stays warm and dry! I hate winter, but I mostly hate when snow melts and then freezes into ice slicks. Not fun!

I love snow. However, I must say that this winter is very irritating to me. I want a giant storm. 3AM, Sunday night, 3" an hour with more on the way. I prefer to be snowed in than to have these little 'storms'. Plus, I'm so cold this year.
