Snow Day

Snow days are often fun, if you have a warm house and some knitting to keep you sane. Here is what it looks like outside after a bit of shoveling:

Thank goodness for teenage boys willing to shovel!

And with a sense of humor....

Meanwhile, in other news,

A pineapple fruit has sprouted and is growing in my greenhouse!

I started this plant at least 3 years ago by cutting off the top of a purchased pineapple and putting it in a bunch of dirt....

And of course some knitting is going on. I am reknitting Ingrid Cardigan in a different gauge yarn and writing the pattern for 5 sizes. I am almost ready to release it to the world. My first test knitter has started hers also, with a different cable. You can see her just finished beautiful alpacarina sweater here: http://strickpraxis.wordpress.com/

So here is my new one:

Shoulder view.

Now, back to knit some more...
