Dead Like Me, Mittens & Snow Cream

I don't know what the finally tally was but we had to have gotten at least a foot of snow this weekend.  I wish I'd thought to take a few photos but I haven't left my apartment since I got home around two on Friday afternoon.  I have been nothing but loungy and pajama clad, watching the first season of "Dead Like Me."  All fourteen episodes. 

I did managed to do two things other than watch movies and old television shows.  One, I made snow cream for the first time...I was going to say since I was a kid but I think I made it with Nate over ten years ago.  Still, it's been a long time - you know, pollution and all that.  I couldn't help it...all that whiteness piled up outside and I didn't even have to leave my apartment to get any.    It wasn't exactly as I'd remembered it but it was till pretty good. 

I also finished my mittens.  Knitted with Di. Ve Autunno using the Easy Mittens patter in One Skein Wonders.  I had to add a few stitches to the hand but it was quick, easy knit and - hey! - I finished a pair of something!



I started the second Mrs. Beeton while I finished up season two of Bosom Buddies this afternoon.  I really need to do some housework before I go to bed but I think I'll placate myself with a load of dishes and a load of laundry and then a little more knitting along with an episode of the The Flight of the Conchords which I've heard is brilliant.  After all, I have to ease myself back in to reality....

I don't think I've ever had snow cream, which is odd since I've lived in New England with plenty of snow my whole life. I'll have to make sure June doesn't go so deprived! Those mittens turned out awesome!!

Your mittens look great. I have that book but I have yet to make something out of it. However, now that I am getting better with the DPNs I might give it a try. Of course that sill be after I finish my socks. Hope things are okay.
