I mean - I don't go up to their houses! I just see what's available for view from the street. But I love it. One can find gorgeous design, amazing moldings, great lighting. It's so fun! I say embrace your inner craft-voyeur. I do :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-63345326372228875062014-01-12T17:48:05.961-05:002014-01-12T17:48:05.961-05:00I am so with you about loving to peek into other p...I am so with you about loving to peek into other people's stashes! I actually love to look the yarn stashes of my Ravelry friends, not only to compare theirs with mine (not in a good/bad way, but in terms of colours, yarn weights, etc. that we choose and what that means/doesn't mean about what we knit).<br /><br />I keep my Ravelry stash up to date pretty much for this reason, and it's great. I'm definitely going to have to spend some time browsing that Flickr group!AngelaHhttp://pansneedles.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-10011953568979853482014-01-12T09:51:15.205-05:002014-01-12T09:51:15.205-05:00Oh, honey, you are high on drugs.

This year does seem a bit worse than usual, but it IS January. And things got an early start for the first time in a few years. Feb and March will be the final test of whether this is a worse winter, from a light standpoint, than any of the others in recent memory.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-62419837926913324632014-01-12T09:30:51.371-05:002014-01-12T09:30:51.371-05:00You know, when I was in B.C. last winter, I compla...You know, when I was in B.C. last winter, I complained about the lack of sun all the time. The locals told me that's the price you pay for mild winters (we had no snow last year) but I rebuffed them explaining I would take the cold and sunny weather of TO any day. Fast forward to this winter and I'm beginning to think I was delusional about the sun because, yes, we've had cold, but the sun? The sun has made an appearance less than a handful of times. Was it always this gray in Toronto in the winter? Was I imagining sunny winters? If so, I’d take the B.C. gray any day. At least it was warm and I didn’t have to navigate icy roads there (ice is my nemesis).

And when I got to work and removed my beret (which had my freshly-dried long hair piled up underneath), I resembled a Where the Wild Things Are beast after a "fluff" cycle.

I'm really skeptical when people go on about sunny and bright and clear and upbeat when I know my bones would break at minus 20 -- my husband worked in Ottawa for 5 or so years and I'd do the commute-visiting with much trepidation during the winter. . . . I do have snowdrops blooming in my yard but it sounds as if they wouldn't reconcile you to wet, gloomy, grey. . . materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-5484718661208069762014-01-10T20:02:15.187-05:002014-01-10T20:02:15.187-05:00"I prefer freezing and sun, any day, to the d..."I prefer freezing and sun, any day, to the drab and zero we're probably in for for the next few weeks." <br /><br />Ditto. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
