Well. It’s been rain, rain and more rain up here all week and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight for a little while yet. We are under flood watches again. Our little household is in no particular danger being at the top of a hill at nearly the highest elevation in the city - but those folks whose homes and businesses lie along the rivers might be doing a little fretting right about now.
Actually, for the first time, I think, since Saturday afternoon, it isn’t raining - in fact I can actually see dry patches in the pavement, looking out the window. But the sky is still as grey as stewed flannel. This is just a brief respite; we’re slated to get heavy rain this afternoon and tomorrow.
Basket-weave set
I used a leftover scrap of the yarn I made the socks with to do the band (three repeats of the basket weave pattern) and the braid. I have the sneaking suspicion that the sock and the hat will fit different sized children, though and not really be a set. But that’s not so bad - nothing’s going to go to waste!
Jade was taking great interest in our newest family members this morning. They, on the other hand, weren’t the least bit intimidated by her (comparatively) large, black, hairy presence and occasionally stretched up the side of the tank right in front of her. I would swear these guys were deliberately taunting Jade if I didn’t know (in Stephanie’s immortal words) that their brains were the size of lentils.
Snap and Pop, out for their morning constitutional
Hope all your weeks are going well and that you’re getting some sunshine!
No trackbacks yet.
socks/cap set is adorable-
what is this ‘rain’ you speak of? with the exception of the storm-induced incident we haven’t seen anything like gentle waters from the sky in months!
jade is just biding her time- the wee rodents need cat-proof armour- okay, let’s all read the ‘redwall’ series again-
stay happy-
Such a cute set! They look like they’d fit the same kid to me but then again I made canoes for a newborn.
No sunshine here.I have had enough of this rain. The lake has risen two and a half feet. But, thankfully we have had no damage. I feel terrible for the people on the western side of the state. I love the hat and sock set.There is something comforting about knitting a sock. 
Barb - Well, her Jadeness isn’t going to get through the sides of the tank easily and we have secured the top very well. The littles are safe :)
Toni - I’m glad to hear they look good to your eye. The “canoes” thing is a giggle, though :) Still, I’m sure someone appreciated them!
Maureen - Two and a half feet?!?! Yikes! I’m very glad to hear you aren’t swimming around your kitchen and that you’re in good shape.
I’m not too upset with this rainy spell as it has brought the first cool weather of the season - and I’m really happy about that :) But I won’t be sorry to see the sun come back either.
