This was my car window this morning coated in ice (i had scraped some off before I took the picture) you know a squeegee does not make a very good ice scraper & both my front & back window were coated. burr, has it been cold. but i guess northern californians are hearty, one of my co-workers told me he surfed yesterday!
Matt & I chose to just bundle up & stay inside yesterday. we watched Capote & I knit up this little blue dress from my blond doll.
Its knit from cotton & i made up the pattern as i went along. Its inspired by the Mabel Dress in Erika Knight's Simple Knits for Cherished Babies. I also knit her a pink sweater with a picot edge on the sleeves & waist. The picot rolled so much though I afriad I am going to have to trash it & do a different one. For now it is blocking under a cast iron skillet.
I'm hoping that will make a difference.
Oh I love that doll's dress, it's perfect!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're in the Canadian province beside Maine...we haven't even had icy cars in the morning...maybe you're getting our weather!
I tried to comment on your entry with the embroidered doll's sweater earlier but it wouldn't work. I love that little flower, it looks great!
Wow my car has been been icy once this year and that is a record for Ohio this time of year! I think that you are getting our weather!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress!! How cute! I hope the sweater turns out!!
OH I would love some cold. It is so damn hot in Perth, Western Australia. We have the aircon on and are still hot. Ugghhh. A cold Christmas just once would be great!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the cold, Kat! It was a balmy 33 degrees out when I drove the girls to school this morning, 2 degrees colder than yesterday. (And I had to fight w/#2 to get her to wear a jacket!)
ReplyDeleteTime for the fabulous knitwear!
Usually by this time of year that's what my windshield looks like in the morning...but we've been having a warm spell. (You must have our ice!)
ReplyDeleteHere's a tip: next time this happens and you don't have a scraper (you're right, squeegees don't work on ice), a cassette tape or CD case will work in a pinch.
