snow days

so, here in Manitoba (that's in Canada, in case you're from far afield) we're having our first real snowstorm of the year. winds blowing to 80 kph, snow, poor visibility, closed highways, the works. it's definitely a day to hunker down, stoke up the wood stove, drink hot cocoa and tea by the gallon, and enjoy the little bit of extra time with your loved ones.

and, when the loved ones are getting just a wee bit on your nerves, and you've had enough sugar/caffeine to juice an elephant, what do you do? you crochet,that's what! (okay, you blog too, but that's somewhat beside the point)

my attempt today will be to complete the ruffled scarf. if i succeed, i plan to post a photo and pattern for everyone to enjoy :)

we'll see how that goes... now, i'm off to huddle under a blanket with my littlest one and my crochet hook.....
