TADA!!!
HEART Aran Sweater #2
Hurt my heel a little bit ago and have been taking it easy. Except for a quick walk in the back yard with my beagle and shoe shopping with my daughters, I've been resting the foot and staying sane by knitting. Finished my daughter's sweater just in time for all that cold weather to be over. Oh well, it's still sweater weather, right?
Adult LARGE! ( :D )
Yarn: Red Heart Acrylic Yarn * Color: Aran * Needles: US 7 and 8.
Combination of different patterns, creates this "One-Of-A-Kind" sweater:
Cable Confidence has the beautiful pattern for the large panels on either side of the hearts. Here's a link to the book on -->Amazon<--
The hearts are from an old magazine pattern for a baby sweater (at the time I was childless so I only jotted down the heart part of the pattern)... recently I found the pattern again, on Ravelry.
FOR SOME REASON... Ravelry's link makes it difficult for one to retrieve the heart pattern. Sorry. Click --> HERE <-- for just the heart portion of the pattern (the part of the pattern I jotted down years ago).

Snowy and Cold Day
It was like living in a snow globe, every time I looked out the window. So pretty. Tried to capture the flurries on a quick walk outside.
The old snow is so cold and hard, it's so easy to just walk along the top.

Aug! Record Low Temps Tonight.
I really didn't mind this winter's snow. It's the cold that's been brutal. When I looked at the temp at 5:30am this morning, it was -1°F. Tonight, the temps are going to be -4°F. The North Country is going to be in the 20s below zero YIKES!!!
It's so unseasonably cold, wood pellets are sold out everywhere and because of the late season, places are not reordering. The same goes with cord wood, no one has seasoned available and now the wood stove in the family room is burning wood bricks (which are also cleaner, greener and more expensive).
The good news is, Friday and Saturday it will be in the high 30s and 40s; it will feel like Spring! Daylight savings ends this weekend, too! Yippee! Always a HUGE Silver Cloud behind the Grey Lining (all one needs is a green patch of grass and to keep looking up)!

Hampton Beach
Do love going to the beach in the winter. It's such a different place. So, this past Saturday we went to Hampton Beach to see it all shut down.
What a difference just a couple months make. Not the same spot on the street, but you can see how quiet it was.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you come again!

Ice Sickles, Indeed!
A few days ago, my daughter was out enjoying the snow squall when she took this picture.
Needless to say, I was whacking at ice sickles with a broom, from windows, very soon after (high-tech New England method).
Could you imagine the damage those cold, sharp things could do if they fell? (I'm already fearful of the damage they've done to the roof, with all the expanding and contracting. Or should I say, "I don't want to know"... )
Thank you for visiting. Hope you came again!
