School is out...

not for summer but for today, because of snow.
I love how the UK can't cope with any snow.
All the kids are out and about playing in the street.
I grew up in Switzerland and we never missed a day of school because of snow. We did have a skiing day - a day trip to the slopes. It was always great fun. Sometimes we had bad weather and were the only idiots on skis.
My kids are well kited out besides the foot wear. Finding shoes for Miss T tiny feet is still a problem. She was outside until her feet got to cold. Big sister is outside wearing wellington boots with handknit socks.
It is a day to wear hand knits.
So far most of this winter has seen me wear almost all my woolen hand knits.
I have made some good progress on Fontaine. The back, two fronts, pocket tops and the button band are finished. I want to knit the button hole band and the collar next. I may then knit the sleeves in the round. I am thinking if I should try the magic sock loop and knit both sleeves at the same time.
Weather update: It is still snowing and it has started heavy again at 11am.

I saw on the news this morning about how England had snow and people were walking to work. How nice for all those kids to be playing in it too and enjoying it. Our weather has finally cooled off today and we had drizzle most of the night. I hope it lasts all day long. Fontaine is looking beautiful so far too. You are such a quick knitter, especially considering you have a cheeky little girl to look after.
