Iiiiii'm Dreeeeaming of a Whiiiiite Birthday ...

I hate snow. I hate perpetual rain too but at least I can drive in that. I remember when I was a little kid playing outside in a cardigan, on my birthday and that was in Ontario for goodness sake.

My car in our driveway.

\\\\\\\

I found this odd looking shawl pattern, called Wingspan, and just had to knit it. It turned out to be just an odd looking scarf instead but it actually looks good wrapped around my neck and if today's weather keeps up I'll be needing it.

The blood is tossed and it seems like such a waste when the people sitting across the ward are having bags of blood put into them. The nurses always take my blood pressure before and after the procedure. This time my BP was high at first and I told the nurse it was from the stress of searching for somewhere to park the car since the lots were all full.

At least our parking is free.....when you can find a spot, that is.

Yes, the scarf does look like tie-dye! and it's unusually beautiful!
Ontario is having it's first 25C day (after 2 days of torrential rain) - kind of surreal - nice but a shock to the system xxx

We are supposed to have a tropical 14C on the weekend. That's bare arms weather!

Snow? I may move north. I'm actually more comfortable with a real winter like there used to be here. Right now we're having this eerily early spring. In the past a warm break meant nothing -- snow was bound to come back. I don't think so now.

The snow has gone and the sun came out but it's still ccccold.

I think we in Northwest Ohio have seen the last of the snow. Spring is well underway. Not to worry, it'll get to you soon!

Love that unique scarf! Very very cool!

Our rainy season usually ends sometime in June.

Thanks.

The shapes are so pretty and unusual. I love the colors.

comment by elderjane on Mar 15, 2012 8:19 AM ()

Thanks Jeri. They're my colours.

Forgot to mention - the scarf looks great. How does it look on?

comment by islander on Mar 15, 2012 7:39 AM ()

It looks good. Just wish I had a photographer who didn't chop off various body parts.

Did you see that the Prairies and East are having warm weather now? We were without power for over 13 hours on Monday but on a positive note that kept me off the computer and gave me lots of knitting time. Yah!
Today we are off to Victoria for my phlebotomy. I'll be taking my knitting along for the ride.

comment by islander on Mar 15, 2012 7:39 AM ()

Can you donate the blood or is it tossed?
I went to get my hip x-rayed this afternoon but I couldn't find a parking space

although there were several empty spots marked Doctors Only. I'll try again Monday morning.

reply by nittineedles on Mar 16, 2012 1:51 PM ()

Nifty--and I'm not talking about the snow.

comment by solitaire on Mar 15, 2012 5:14 AM ()

Thanks.

reply by nittineedles on Mar 16, 2012 1:47 PM ()

Wow! Pretty!

Wingspan and the snow.

comment by crazylife on Mar 14, 2012 5:19 PM ()

Thanks but aren't you tired of looking at snow?

reply by nittineedles on Mar 14, 2012 6:31 PM ()

It's beautiful! The way the colors worked up is amazing, perfect for that pattern. Did you buy the specific yarn that went with the pattern? Send us that snow. Don't take any chances: box it up and send it here. With delivery confirmation.

Sorry but the snow melted before I could get it to the post office. (made a soggy mess on the carpet)
