I love the construction.

At least the 10 inches of snow on top kept us from sliding on the ice. Be safe.

The pictures bring back memories of our ice storm in 1998 . We had no power for 2 weeks , there was just too much damage to the hydro lines all over the region . According to Environment Canada there were 4 million people without electricity then from Kingston , Ottawa and greater Montreal . This time we're lucky , the temps are colder , so we're getting ice pellets this time not freezing rain . Still treacherous but at least it's not sticking to trees and hydro lines . <br /> <br />I love the Mince Pie Mayhem socks , gorgeous colour , perfect choice for the pattern ! Hats off to you , your sock knitting skills rock !Friedahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18254267613483558301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270785051125674716.post-8699244373642442462013-12-22T13:35:29.642-05:002013-12-22T13:35:29.642-05:00Hope you all stay safe, the pictures are gorgeous,...Hope you all stay safe, the pictures are gorgeous, but you are right - only answer is to stay put.

Not picking up stitches got my attention as I always have a hole it seems.<br />Where do you live? Ice storms are the worst! Mostly because no one can drive on ice and it always takes trees and power down so not only is it nasty outside but it gets nasty inside too. I went 8 days without power and thought I would freeze to death but I didn't. LOL! They are not fun though. So glad you have power. You're right though...great knitting weather!
