mmm.... coffee.....: quails:1 america:0

it finally snowed! we got a huge blizzard this weekend & i loved it. despite being a little sore from all the shovelling (my landlord is conveniently away in Florida) it was great fun being "trapped" inside, forced to work on my olympic knitting. (seen posing with the sock knit by clementine's shoes) it's turning out to not be much of a challenge after all, i may have to adjust my plan to seeing how many socks i can knit before the closing ceremony! there was quite a bit of unknitting here & there, i started it then had to frog because i finally decided to knit the elfine's sock. the sock has progressed over the ankle & has been nearly finished since that photo, but it's hard to take good shots at 2am. here are some knitting & snow photos in no particular order:

as you can see i was fueled by olives for a good part of the knitting. it's a childish thing, i know, but when i was young my mother wouldn't let me eat too many olives. "you'll make yourself sick," she said. when i moved into my first apt & went grocery shopping i bought a jar of olives & yes, made myself sick eating them. they're just that good. you can also see the poor little craptop in all it's blueberryness - i finally found & deleted all the "laugh" sound files on it so it no longer giggles at me. there's my new roommate, rachel, who being from texas is not quite a fan of the snow. i was also fueled by those new strawberry yogurt burst cheerios, buy some, they're awesome. allright, that's all you get, pictures of kool-aid dyed yarn saved for later - i need to go trek through the snow to buy some more sock yarn!
