It snowed a lot yesterday, perhaps 5 inches. I did not go to the Knit In in Ann Arbor last night, because of the weather. That was a big disappointment, as I really love that group and can only go on the first Tuesday of the month.

I just do not do well in the winter weather, and it seems my feet have a very hard time keeping warm. Today, instead of posting here, I have been obsessed with knitting warm sox for myself. I am using bulky alpaca I got on the retreat last Saturday. I am making them too big so that I can shrink them slightly, to be more dense and more warm (and perhaps more long-wearing as well).

I am making this pair toe up with afterthought/turkish heels, because I did not know if I would have enough yarn. It seems the fatter the yarn, the more one needs. It appears that I will have plenty left over, because I made a short cuff. Right now I am just starting the heels. I should be able to wear these tomorrow!
