snowy snow snow

when i got up this morning the sky was clear and blue and cold, but now the clouds have blanketed everything and i suspect what the weathermen said about more snow might be true. which means i should run the very few errands i have right now, before it starts and everyone decides to run theirs.

i have been knitting a lot of those super easy, fun, colorful bibs from mason-dixon knitting. i've knit so many of them at this point (finishing number four today!) that i don't even need the pattern anymore. they are such a fun project to work on, and as much as i love to actually knit, i also love it when the end result is so damn practical. right now i'm just playing with colors and striping patterns, before i dive into this video. i'm still waiting on some wool from knitpicks to arrive, and just yesterday i discovered the needles and such i'd ordered from joann's were supposedly delivered about five days ago. that would be great, if i'd ever actually gotten them. i'm still waiting on an email from the shipping department to tell me what the hell happened. being that i'm sort of suspicious by nature i'm wondering if someone didn't see the box on my front stoop and swipe it. although i've had lots of boxes on my front stoop and none of them were stolen. i'm not sure what to think, but i'm irritated that i don't have what i need to start work on some new projects. thankfully the mindless garter stitch of those baby bibs is soothing. i'll have photos of the bibs later, which reminds me that i need to order another charger for my camera's battery. i left mine at my sister's and we are having one hell of a fight right now, so i don't think i'll be seeing it any time soon. dammit.
