Wild is the wind.

In the Portland area, anyway. Went up Mt Tabor today and the wind was blowing the snow off of Mt Hood. I had to take a photo:

I mean, really. How often does one see something like that? It was frigidly cold out all day, but well worth the effort of climbing up the half-frozen hill. Anyway. Got home, edited patterns and was just about to lie down, wheeen…

Oy, my cell went off. I had forgotten that tonight was a Sock Knitters Night. Just as I was in sweats and everything (sigh). So… I changed, ran out the door and just barely made it to the shop in time. While I was there, I worked on these,

And my nearly-finished Socks for Maggie. Much progress was made on both. Opus and I then went to dinner.

But, I doubt all y’all really care. The two big things to blog about tonight? TheBon won the Name This Creature contest and I have her prize ready, along with the make-up Wacky Ducky Prize. I had fun picking them out. I should be able to send the lot in a day or two, hopefully at the same time as my Socks for Maggie (which are literally 6 rows away from being an FO).

The other? The final clue for the Sockdown: January Mystery Socks:

Clue #4 (PDF)

Of course, since January has FIVE weeks (blast it), I’m going to reveal the pattern’s name and influence next week. Bah! to five-week months.
