the dog ate my knitting ...

or ...
... My baby brother threw up on my knitting.
... I got mugged and the bag with my knitting was stolen.
... I knit my second sock but the aliens who abducted me kept it.
... I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to knit.

None of these excuses is true although the last one isn't far off. We were busy yesterday and as a result the second sock of the last pair for the Warm Hands Network isn't finished.

The wind was right and the waves were breaking, so the call went out - Surf's Up! After Gavin was suited up and in the water, I made my way down to the shore to snap a few pics. Good thing he's wearing a cold water wetsuit as well as boots, mitts and a hood - he'd be frozen otherwise. When I got home there was another 10 cm of snow to shovel from the sidewalk and driveway. At least Mother Nature is sending snow on weekends when I don't have to drive anywhere!

A little bit of knitting did get done through the Leafs game last night. And surprise, surprise ... they almost didn't lose!
