Good stuff
What a freakish week this has been! Sunday my furnace shit the bed (all good, just a little fix) but still it couldn't have come at a worse time! We got a good snow fall here in Central New York. It was the tail end of the Noreaster (spelled right?) that hit the whole east coast. So I am freezing in my house (until 11 the next day..) Had to shovel out of the driveway to get to work, witnessed a transformer blow the next street away from me. That is a weird thing to see. Then the really horrible news from Virgina.....a true tragedy.
I just didn't feel like blogging this week. I have been knitting though. Oh yes. I have some progress photo's to show of my new sweater!
Can you tell what it is yet? Come on, I bet you can. Ok. I will tell you. It is the infamous Klaralund! Do you know how many people have made this sweater? Me either, but I know it is a lot. I have the front and back done. I am working on 1 sleeve. Got one more to go. I had to put it aside for some super secret gift knitting. Which I will share next week. Don't want to give away any surprises now do I?
I leave you with my cat, Smudge. Here he is showing you the left over snow from the storm on Monday. Yes Monday. We still have snow.
There is a light at the end. It's going up to 70 degree's for the next 3 days! YES!

Yup...nice weather is coming just in time for The Sheep to go back to work. Poop. Ok, I won't complain. I *do* get the whole summer off!
Love the sweater! The bright colors go a long way towards making me think of spring and the warmer weather ahead. Have a great weekend!

Your sweater will be beautiful when it's done - very pretty yarn!
Say good bye to snow (for now) - you won't even need to wear your coat on the way home today - and a nice weekend on tap too!

Can I just tell you how much I love that you said "shit the bed"? I thought that was only a Vermont/New Hampshire saying! People out here have never heard that before. T. and I say it alllll of the time!

The sweater will be beautiful. That must be Noro something...Silk Garden maybe?
Last time I found you by doing my happy wanderer routine, just following the link trails wherever they led me. This time I was reading the blog of someone I just met in knitterdom, and she had you linked. You'll never get rid of me now.
It helps that your blog name is so memorable. My husband is a programmer and used to go by the title of Big Geek at Geeks 4 Hire (that was his business).

Ugh. Could the weather be any stranger? Bad timing on the furnace. :(
Those are lovely colors in your Noro sweater.

The sweater is looking great! I saw some snow around town today, but it is gone from our yard. We only got a couple inches from that storm, then it turned to rain. But it has been WARM this weekend!!
