I awoke this morning to ice all over the snow. Yikes, if I thought yesterday was bad, today was really bad.
Thank goodness Jeremiah made it home this morning.

It has been snowing the past few days. This is a shot yesterday before work. Nothing was plowed it was a mess getting to work. At one point I decided I did not think I could make it back home. So, I decided to drive slowly and keep going to work. It took about an hour to get there.

Here is the after felting photo of my winter dumpling bag.

Dumpling Bags



I just finished these two dumpling bags. They are knit from a pattern in the Fall 2008 Interweave Knits magazine. Just scroll down to see the original pattern.
I made the white and blue winter one of 100% wool so I could felt it down.
The pink one is made from super wash wool .It is not meant not to be felted. I made mine a bit longer so I could put more things inside of them. I like bags to be a bit bigger.
I really like the way the handle made with rings. If you slide the rings apart you can close up the bag. I listen to Sharon Dreifuss (the pattern designer) on her weekly podcast called She-knits.

It looks too cold to do any golfing today. I don't think I have seen a golfer since November.

I worry about the ducks and swans in the cold weather. Today, I caught them at breakfast over by the feeder.

This was on Friday morning on the way to work.
This past week it was my turn to go in early and open the doors.
The weather was so bad the drive was pretty slow a few days.
