How Knitting Saved My Toes
On Tuesday I had a snow day, and finished these:
Pattern: Garnish by me!
Yarn: Dream In Color Smooshy in Deep Seaflower
Started: 11/7/10
Finished: 11/23/10
On Monday morning I awoke to find snow outside. Snow before Thanksgiving in Seattle is extremely unusual, but I had seen a few flakes on Sunday, so it wasn't a total surprise. I bundled up in my heavy-duty coat (bought before my study abroad in Norway), my handknit wool socks, my hat, my scarf, and my mittens, Pretty Thing was also in my bag... and I went to work. I had to wait for the bus for a very long time, but it was otherwise uneventful.
The way home, however, was not. To make a long story short, after a freezing 2.5 hour wait at the bus stop (I was much warmer than my non-knitting counterparts), I finally caught a bus which took me most of the way home. Since the next bus was nowhere in sight I ended up walking almost 3 miles home through the snow. And I don't think I've ever been more glad to be a knitter. By the time I got home I was freezing, but not half as freezing as I would have been without the knitwear!

Your pattern is as beautiful in blue as it is in red! I'm glad you made it home safe and sound, and relatively warm :-)
I honestly figured the weather man was joking about the snow considering well they usually aren't that accurate lol.
I can't believe it snowed so early I really hope this isn't a sign of a horrible winter heading this way.
That is the one great perk to being a knitting you never have a reason to be cold.
I like your sock pattern & the color of the yarn you chose.
