Baby, It's Cold!!!

I had to check my gps to make sure I was still in Georgia!

It is bitterly cold here!

And to add to the bite, it is very windy!

I've heard that the wind chill will be 9-10

later this evening.

I can hardly wait to walk the boys down Peachtree!

YIKES!!!

Above is the cowl that I'm presently knitting.

It's called the Eleanor cowl and you can see

finished photos and the pattern here.

I find lace knitting a challenge

and I want to conquer it!

So I thought a cowl would be a good way to start.

The yarn is delicious: 

a silk/merino blend from Sundara.

It is so soft, and of course I love the color!

Here's a detail shot:

It's been a busy day:

a long walk with the boys this morning 

before the wind picked up

and blew all the cold air in from Canada;

a delicious lunch at Doc Chey's

(I enjoyed the Garlic Eggplant Stirfry

Not only was it art on a plate,

but it was so tasty!);

 and tickets to see Tom Key and Jimi Kocina

in RED,

a wonderful play about artist Mark Rothko.

Do go see it if you are in the area -

it has been extended through March 11th.

Happy Weekend!

Stay Warm!!

peace
