Snow Party

Last night it started to snow around here. This morning we woke up to a small layer of snow. Not much, but enough to get all the kids excited. They went outside to make some small snowballs and have fun.
Miss T called it a snow party.
Because the girls started Christmas holidays on Wednesday, we had cousin A stay the night. The three of them had a lovely time.
We followed the fun with a visit to the coffee shop and tumble tots.
More knitted presents.
Cherry Bark Mitts in Noro Silk Garden Lite (only on ravelry).
This mitts have given me a headache. I bought two ball of the Noro yarn. I knew that the balls were slighly different. I thought I would find the same spot to start the mitts in both balls. I happy knit the first mitt and went on to the second. I could not find the same color sequence. The second ball had a knot and all the turquoise was missing. I knit a hat for Miss T with it.
I went back to the yarn store and bought another ball. I was very surprised when that ball seemed to have no beige. I now have to almost twin mitts.
Hope my friend will still like them. I like them. I am tempted to go back and try and get some more Noro yarn. But I will try and check the balls better. I did notice that another ball there also had a knot in it.
I am knitting two more presents, I have been busy finding a pattern for my 20 balls of Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk Aran. I wanted to knit Nora's Sweater, from the new Interweave Knits. But the 20 balls are not enough.
