winter ice storm

So sorry to have to post this today, but the ice storm is preventing me from opening shop as scheduled. We live about 8 miles north of Manhattan in the hills and roads can get bad. In the almost 17 years we've lived here, it's never kept us homebound, but this morning is another story. One way out is blocked by ice-packed trees, poor things- and my car won't make it up the other way (think steep hill).

But, hey- at least - so far- we have power! I'm sure it's out in many nearby areas, so I'm wishing you all a safe, warm spot to curl up and knit today! I've got lots of projects here at home... doing a modular vest adapted from my mini-mitered cardigan in a color scheme I can wear (unlike the mini-mitered cardigan...) plus I'm working on a scarf and cardigan with Plymouth Tweed-the cardigan will be intarsia and the scarf (most likely my project for today) is log cabin and stripes.

Hey- just realized my camera is home with me today, too- maybe I can get some pics up later....

Happy Knitting, everyone. And please know I'd never close shop except for extreme conditions such as this.
