Trapped
The damn stupid snow has turned to ice and I am now trapped inside by the ice on the road and pavements.
Luckily I have ginger ale to sup, banana chips to munch, netflix to watch, and a mitten to finish knitting. I hate knitting to deadlines, and the fact that I have another deadline knit to do after this one is slowly driving me mad. I want to knit the pretty things for ME, dammit!
The mittens are for my sisters birthday in a couple of weeks. They are fancy flippy top mittens with twisted rib cuffs in teal/emerald green knitpicks pallette. I love this yarn. Its has really nice stitch definition, and its pure wool, and I've finally found a UK stockist. They even carry the felici sockyarn which I adore after making my Dr Who cabled socks. I want to make Rainbow socks in it next! Maybe next time I get some money I'll treat myself!
Today has so far involved; the neighbours yelling at each other - probably when they had recovered from thier midnight row - their baby crying. Its also involved yet more paperwork done via phone, in order for me to get the help I desperatly need around here - which has finally been agreed and paperwork is going through, and its moving forward, even if it is at a glacial pace; and now its there is freezing rain out side, which is making the ice even more dangerous. My chair would have no traction at all, if I could even heave the damn thing outside.
Now there is a house alarm going off. Dammit. I would very much like a house in the middle of nowhere with a decent internet connection and a pretty view. Moi? Grumpy?
