Just in Time for Winter or um... Spring, I Guess
One of my favorite things about snowy weather is the way the snow disperses the streetlights, putting a melon colored glow on every building, car, and lawn for miles. It's truly lovely. In winter I try to look inward, hibernate a little, take a moment to slow down and take stock of my many blessings. I'm not very good at this exercise. Lately I have been battling my cabin fever, alternating between a strong urge to nest and a strong urge to get outside and climb something. Instead I've been knitting through the darker months and today I have something to show for it.
Xian's Dr. Who scarf (one full year in the making!) is finally finished, off the needles, and blocked to perfection. I'm done! Pass the jellie babies and no more garter stitch for me ever, please!
The end of my winter knitting is a good sign, I think, that the thaw is coming. Pathetic fallacy and all that, I know, but I who cares. Right now I'm feeling downright indulgent.
