How-w-w-w-w-w-l-l-l-l-l-l

The wind started blowing last night about 9 and hasn't quit since!

So much for the yard work and pool de-leafing that we did yesterday! I gave up an entire day of knitting and sewing with the hope of making a considerable dent in my outdoor winterizing, only for it to be undone by the wind. Peaking at 50+ mph, I love listening to it howl. If this had happened in a few weeks from now, we'd be hunkered down in a blizzard. Hard to believe it's that time of year again. Thanksgiving in a few weeks and Christmas not far behind.

I've been knitting toasty-warm slippers for my family and finally started a pair for myself. With one done, I'm working on the second and love them so much,that while I'm knitting number two, I treat myself to wearing number one. Crazy? Yeah, like a fox! It's toasty warm and I can't wait to finish the pair.

I opted for some TLC Coats and Clark 100% acrylic for slippers. I just couldn't bring myself to break into my precious-yarn stash for slippers. Maybe someday I'll try felting and splurge on some great wool. but for now, acrylic will do just fine.
