Seriously, it is just too cold to type. It was seven degrees F here yesterday. (inside joke...it's been warmer in MONTANA this winter!) The house is 85 years old and lacks a few modern conveniences like insulation, weather tight windows (although they are leaded glass and gorgeous) and sealed floors. My computer is against a NORTH wall because that was the only place a dsl line could be installed due to the metal lath underneath the hand troweled plaster walls....don't get me started. THis is a book all by itself. Girl meets house....and gives up any hope of a fashion statement, life without closets! I have on three layers of everything.....and no place to keep it. Oh the things we do for LOVE. (are you hummin it yet? You know you wanna.....the THINGS we do for love....) Tasha is doing so much better on the phenobarb, and now that I KNOW what the problem has been it is SO much easier to deal with. I hate not knowing what is going on.In knitting news, I'm completely smitten with the rogue hoodie from the girl from auntie. OMG. I have promised myself I won't start it until kiwi is finished, but I am dreaming about the possibilities for yarn. ARAN weight just sounds SO great when you are shivering. This is Danger Girl, reporting live from the frozen tundra....
It's freezing here too. And more ice in the forecast. Keep your fingers crossed that the power stays ON!
I am enamoured with Rogue too. It is taking all my willpower not to start. I have the pattern, I have the yarn, I just don't have the time!!
Stay warm :)

Hey, I also have no closets. :-) Well, there's on, in the library, where our clothes all hang. Getting dressed involves wandering from room to room figuring out where the appropriate items of clothing might be.
Still thinking good thoughts for Tasha.

Warm thoughts winging your way - We are in day 2 of a 3 day front. Shouldn't complain too much, though. Its been a mild winter - till now.

BRRRRRRR! Is all I can say about your weather!
I adore that Rogue sweater! I've been thinking about trying it, but I'd have to alter the pattern sizing a bit and I'm intimidated by that!
I might just live vicariously through others who are knitting it!

I am so happy to hear that Tasha is doing better. She was very lucky to have been found by you... My vet gives me the same speech about rescuing everybody (2 dogs, three cats in Manhattan). But it is not a choice -- and when a special one like Tasha snuggles up to you and chooses, what can you do but be grateful they found you. I will keep my fingers crossed that the medicine continues to help and that Tasha will have many more days of warm sun patches to bask in.

You?? Don't like knowing what's going on?
Only teasing; glad you & Tasha are doing a bit better.
But for heaven's sake, get offa the computer and go knit by the fire!!!

It's bitterly cold here, too--but then, we expect that here in the North. Keep getting threatened with this STORM that hasn't materialized (yet). SO GLAD Tasha's doing well. Rogue is definitely in my future, as soon as PayPal lets me in again.
