    I don't envy you the snow.  I'm not a cold weather person.  I think 60ish degrees is chilly.
     
    Your sweater is pretty!!  I pulled my own knitting needles out this weekend and couldn't even finish a wash cloth without messing it up!  I guess I'm not real focused right now.

    Hmmm.  The good thing about snow at this time of year is that it doesn't stay around very long.   Not real fond of the stuff, but I have to admit newly fallen snow is beautiful.

    Dia.  We had a green sofa and chairs for years. Then suddenly they did become so worn out. I was getting uncomfortable at letting strangers see my home. Then I came into some money and I bought those some years ago. I thought I would faint I was so happy. It took us time to find the right sofa and chairs. They had to be comfortable like the old one Thanks for noticing. 
  • diabolicdame said on Apr 09, 2008....
    Notice? My back is kinda killing me cause of my own uncomfortable chair.. so looking at this one just made me go "oooooooohh".. It looks seriously comfy skald! I'm jealous..     :-)
  • skald said on Apr 09, 2008....
    Dia.  lol Hope you will have good chair to sit in soon. Especially when You are doing your studying. it is important for  you. Luv

    I like that first picture of the snow falling. That looks really neat! I've never lived in a place that it snows before, so it's always cool to see that.

    Kyle.  It would be fun for you to try that. Not live there but play in snow with Natalie. 
  • secretlife said on Apr 09, 2008....

  • skald said on Apr 09, 2008....
    Secret.  No, I will not grant you that wish. lol I don't want the snow either.. We will send it somewhere else.
  • dailyachesandpains said on Apr 09, 2008....
    GET OUT!!!  I can't believe SNOW again for you!!!  Oh Skaldini!  I feel sick of it for you!

    I'm still baffled how you can knit so well!  As always, BEAUTIFUL!!!

    Daily.  ((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))

    I wish the snow away. And you should see the horrible yarn I am knitting form but it is only a try to see if the pattern or rather instructions are right now, after someone altered what I got from the magazine. Then I am going to get good yarn and knit the thing and maybe give it a rest after that.
  • polarheart said on Apr 10, 2008....
    Hi Friend!  You wont believe, but we had a surprise snow fall on this past Sunday!!  It was just starting to get warm last week and then BAM!  Quite a heavy snow fall on Sunday. . .some of the snow even lasted till Monday.  I mean its APRIL for goodness sake!! LOL!
     
    Thanks for sharing your photos; I have not yet downloaded my snow photos yet :-)
     
    That cardigan you knitted really looks so lovely and cuddly :-)
     
    Love Polar
  • MissMimi said on Apr 10, 2008....
    well, missy polarcakes, fancy meeting you here.  :)
     
    skald, I forgot to say that I really like the color of that yarn.  I laughed a little when you said "you should see the horrible yarn I am knitting..."  Sometimes when I look at some of the yarn I have, I can't imagine what I was thinking when I bought it.  I also have some yarn that I like, but when I tried to knit with it, it was very difficult to work with.  Very frustrating.
  • polarheart said on Apr 10, 2008....

    Well, Missy Meemee!! LOL!! Why art thou not asleepeth?  I care about you, you know! (((((((((hugs))))))))))))) and drift off now SweetyMimi.

  • skald said on Apr 10, 2008....
    Polar.  Yes, this is more of a surprise in England than here still we always behave as it is happening for the first time. The spring usually takes long to come here.
    Yes the cardigan is cuddly. Still I want to make another one. Pálmi says I should stop knitting. lol And yesterday he said I should rather paint. What an idea.
    Mimi.  I am thinking of stopping this project. The yarn is almost done and I am only up to the arms. I would have to put some other yarn with it and this is so hard that I think I should cast off and use it for a mop a rag for the floors to wipe up water and wash floors! I think this is mums old darning yarn. It is so coarse and horrible. I am starting to understand that it is O.,K that I don't use all mum's old rests. lol

    Mimi and Polar (((((((((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))) to you both.
  • MissMimi said on Apr 10, 2008....
    I know the feeling, skald.  When my great-aunt passed away, I received all her unused yarn and knitting supplies.  I'll be honest, most of it was kind of ugly.  But for a long time, I felt guilty that I wasn't using it up.  I finally threw a lot of it away a few years ago.  LOL  You made me laugh when you said you should use it to make a mop!  :)
  • skald said on Apr 10, 2008....
    Mimi.  I really meant it, it feels like those old rags for the floor. lol
  • Alyss said on Apr 10, 2008....
    That's precisely what our snow did the other week. I'm ready for spring too. ;-)
  • skald said on Apr 10, 2008....
    Alyss.  As we say, say two. Meaning me too.

    hi skald.  So you got a bit of a "snow globe" look as well!  Better you than me!  LOL  I don't want any more snow.. but I am sure we will get another one before its all done.  That pink cardigan is really nice.  I like the style of that one a lot. 
  • Twylarants said on Apr 10, 2008....
    Poor Skald! It was 72 here today, sunny and breezy, just beautiful. But your spring is on it's way, no?  This was winter's last hurrah in Iceland.
  • queenparanoia said on Apr 10, 2008....

  • skald said on Apr 11, 2008....
    Quiet.  The snow is slowly melting away and we are in the 50's now. Not bad
    Twy.   72 we will only have on a good summersday. We are in the 50's now and it feels nice.
    Queen.  Sending the snow to you. You can have it. lol
