Hi,

The weekend was so snowy! We received about 15 inches of snow over approximately 48 hours. The snow was wet and heavy. Perfect heart attack and slipped disk while shoveling snow. Husband was wonderful and took this task on himself. I cooked, knit, and helped paint the kitchen. We painted it a light yellow - golden buttercup was the name, I think. It took 2 coats before looking really nice. I have always wanted a yellow kitchen. We have spots to touch up, but it is essentially done and a pleasure to view.

I stayed up way too late last night watching the Oscars. I am really paying the price for it today. If I had a quiet place to lay my head down this afternoon, I would have done it and been down for the count.

I knit almost one whole sock this weekend. I used a German yarn that is thicker than what I have been using (a Koigu look-alike). I got through most of it and then realized that it was going to be way too small so - I ripped it out. Serves me right for not checking my gauge. I started over yesterday and it is already feeling loser. The gauge was better this time. Has this ever happened to you or do you check your gauge every time? What are you working on? What is your weather like?
