Happy Wednesday! We are recovering from our second snowstorm of the week. The kids and I were up in Cedar Falls earlier this week. We woke up there this morning to about six inches of snow. Luckily the roads cleared up and we were able to get home.

I have been making steady progress on my projects. I’m on the leg of the second sock. These will be going to my sister Mary-Claire in Chicago. There are only a few people who appreciate hand knit socks enough for me to knit them a pair, she is one of them.

I made a lot of progress on the shawl this week, but decided not to bother with a picture because it looks the same. I just started the lace portion, and I can’t wait to see how it looks once I’ve knit more than one row.

I’m itching to cast on a sweater, so that might happen next week. At some point I’m going to go back to my hibernating projects, but this week is not the week.

There is a rash of cast-on-itis going around the knitting blogger community. Be careful, it is highly contagious and you might find yourself starting yet another project.
