Knitting...Olympics

So I am "competing" in the knitting Olympics, wherein you challenge yourself to finish a project within the time the Olympics take place. Cast on when the torches are lit, finish before the torches are extinguished. I have challenged myself not only to knit with 2 circulars (I'm a dpn kind of girl) but also to do Absinthe from Knitty. I need to have this first sock done by Saturday to be on schedule, I think I can do it.

In other news, I got a bunch of stuff from KnitPicks. It's pretty awesome, I ordered the nickel plated interchangables. I want to use them, but I've got to finish the Olympic socks! Argh! Sorry for the shitty picture quality, I'm a lazy ass who posted from an IPhone.

This is Arkansas. What is the deal with the weather?

So here is in central Arkansas, we are blessed to have a snow day, or two consecutive snow days.

We don't know what to do when there are two separate incidents.

At least today I can work on my Firestarter socks, I am turning the heel on the last one. I am also going to watch The Search for Spock. The planned day was going to be going to school and learning more bones in the skull. Knitting and sitting on my butt? Should be a good day.

This city may have to invest in a snow plow.
