The glamour: We closed the store early tonight, because of snow. There is snow everywhere. By the end of the day, despite my best efforts, my socks were soaked through.

There is a picture in my window I wished I could take tonight. There is snow on the branches of the fifteen trees that live outside my window. In the light from the streetlamps, reflecting off the snow on the ground, they're shadowed and outlined in show. It's anti-shadow; they're sharper and more real lined in white.

It's going to be hell on earth getting to work tomorrow, but this? This is worth it.

Thrillah!

Speaking of introversion, I think the fit came upon me this afternoon. I came home from work, read my internet rounds, had a snack, and promptly knitted...for the next four hours.

However, this means I have successfully achieved Left Glove:



I am assured by People What Know Better Than Me (aka: jmeadows) that it has turned out to specs, despite my raw and rank n00b knitting. I think it's loffly. :)

I've cast on the right glove while waiting for dinner to thaw (I am told there's a whole syndrome where people do one sock or one glove of a pattern and the second never happens). But until it's done, I have this terrible temptation to just go around with the one glove.

And maybe breakdance.

Like, on the subway. :D
