Snowflakes















We took a little break from the city and spent two days out near the east coast at a ski resort called Yeong Pyong. It snowed the entire time we were there. It was the best skiing I've ever experienced. Soft powder and no lines. One of my favorite moments of our trip was riding up the ski lift with Jim. Looking down at his coat he said, "Look at the snowflakes. There are no two alike". The white snowflakes danced and sparkled on his black coat. I would never have noticed them, but once I did, I found myself mesmerized by the tiny, delicate movements of their short lives. I was lost in a moment of wonder.





























































































*We found out later that this snowstorm was the biggest snowstorm in 100 years.

Knit Hits



I finally finished my first project from the yarn shopping I did last summer in NYC. I made this pink hat. It was intended for Margaret, but I tweeked the pattern a little bit and it turned out to be too big. It kind of fits me. I wear it.
Last Christmas, I suggested that the girls try and make homemade gifts for Christmas. Miriam made skirts for Anna and Margaret and then knit this scarf for Gracie. She has a strong creative instinct. Gracie also did some nice work. She made me the bottom scarf.
Knitting is one of my favorite past times.
