I am definitely in the winter doldrums. I just returned from a slog of a work-related trip to Vegas, and could not be happier to be home, even though the weather promises a minus 35 degree windchill tomorrow. Yes, I prefer a frozen tundra to a __________ (I really can’t print what I want to call it!).
Eldest daughter requested some knitting. Resistance is futile. 😉 She wants another Rikke Hat, this time in pitch black. So I bought a skein of Berroco Ultra Alpaca Worsted in Pitch Black (how original!!).
I was worried because the picture looks more like charcoal, but it really is a true black. I have just started it so not much to show.
I took some knitting with me but made little progress. Another reason to be glad I’m home. 🙂 And to see my boys (John and Yuki).
PS — Yep, it is -35 windchill. Bummer.
Did you go to Sin City Knits while you were in Vegas? I was too far away from the store when I went there on business, but I love the name.

Agree on the misleading totals for DC taken from an utterly inappropriate place. In Cleveland Park I took my yardstick out before it started really blowing (and drifting) midday, and I found a reliably flat, level place under open sky: 16″. Again, way before the dry slot ended and the snow started piling in again around 1:30pm this afternoon! And it’s still coming down now at 6:23 pm!
