I used the snowblower to clear the driveway because the stuff was the wet, heavy kind of snow that I wish we'd had before Christmas for IM to play in and make snowballs with. He wanted to have a snowball fight in the worst way and the dry, powdery snow didn't cooperate.
The next bird in Draw Like an Artist was a Downy Woodpecker. That's one bird that visits the feeders quite often so I had a little idea what it was supposed to look like. It turned out okay.
Then next in 10-Steps: Everyday Things was a bike. I can't tell you how many times I erased and redrew the wheels trying to get them round but I ended up with the lumpy ones you see here. It would be a very bumpy ride.
I decided to give the shawl a break and cast on a toe cap in worsted yarn on size 8 needles this evening. I promise that I won't let the shawl languish for long. Cross my heart. But I just needed something different, something smaller with bigger tools, something with the end in sight, to knit.
Today turned out to be a writing day. I managed to eke out 745 words in an hour or so and I even like some of them. Actually I like a lot of them, especially the last sentence of the scene.
And it's snowing again. Maybe we'll hit the 4" mark after all.
