Gee, thanks a lot crudmonkey!

So an old friend of mine, whose blog I've been following whenever I remember, posted this wordle meme, and for the first time in a long time I actually wanted to join in on the meme. It's fun to play around with the settings.



Can you tell what I really like?

The gods conspire against me

The gods of winter and of knitting have conspired against me. Just as I am days away from finishing my first hat for myself winter decides it's time to stop being freezing and evil, and instead it's time to start raining. I somehow knew this would happen, but still I had hopes that I'd get one week of bitter cold in with my new hat before spring came along. Alas, it looks like this is not the case.

Even though winter will have a few more mini-blasts, it's unlikely to get cold enough for me to wear a hat again. Afterall, I'm the girl who's gotten away without wearing a winter coat ONCE this winter. I mostly just wore my hoodie, or my jean jacket (single layer of denim, no insulation) through the entire time. There were a couple of days where I got too cold, but those were only the -30 and below with windchill days, and even then the main problems were my hands which even when in gloves were frozen solid.

Oh well, I suppose it's back to knitting this beautiful hat (captured below in extremely inaccurate colour! Hooray for dying cameras!)
