I meant to post these over the weekend but I forgot. It seems like the day before a storm, we have the most gorgeous sunrises. It certainly seems that the colder the weather, the nicer the sunrise. Of course, when we have a snow storm moving in, all we get are grey skies.

When I got up, it was still dark. I went into the dungeon to dye and kept checking the sky as I always do on these early mornings. The Sunrise started out pretty boring. Just some purple and a little yellow. Then we got this:

And I stuck around because I knew more was coming. This was the pinnacle of the sunrise:

If you click the photos you get to see them really big.

This morning I spent my dye time shoveling and cleaning off the cars. I know it’s sick but I actually like to shovel (to a degree). It’s started to snow again. For those of you wishing for snow

I hope you get some soon.

I wish I could say that I spent my snow day knitting and finishing projects. I knit a sock for 7 going on 20 and it stunk so I’m ripping and reknitting. It’s much better know. I also spun a bit. The rest of the day was spent trying to get ahead on club dyeing. The Christmas holiday is cutting right into the club shipment time so I’m hoping to get it done early. If not it will be late this month.

Exciting right?
We had snow all night but now it’s ice, not quite hail, but not quite sleet either. Just ice. I shoveled some of the driveway and it’s not exactly a chore that I treasure finishing. I have shipments from Thursday’s update going out and that means I need to get at least a decent path done by noon.

In between the shoveling I thought it would be a treat if I could knit. I read over at Chris’s Blog that there is a green sock knit along.
Ok, I knew there was a knit along but I never checked the rules. There aren’t really any rules except that the socks should be green. I know I shouldn’t be casting on yet another new project but I really wanted to knit green socks (I’m easily swayed).

This is my green yarn:

Obvioulsy the knit gods are punishing me for casting on yet another sock. I might have to burn the yarn in sacrifice to appease them.

It’s not exactly Saturday’s Sky. I took this series on Monday of a storm making it’s way across my backyard. All of these were taken in a 10 minute span. Gotta love the crazy March weather.

I wish I had a before picture because it was a bright day with a few clouds in the sky.
The storm moves in quickly.

It starts snowing

Then the snow comes down pretty fierce

And it’s gone.

That’s right. All that in 10 minutes.

I know this is Saturday and it’s supposed to be Saturday Sky but Friday’s sky was spectacular.

Just after posting I looked and this is what I saw:

Storm clouds moving in.
The rest of the sky to the right looked like this:

I love that I can see storms moving like this.

I always find myself looking to the skies…and looking onward.

The new blog is up and running.

I’m still learning tons about php and making the necessary changes.
If it looks drastically different in a day or even in the next 5 minutes, don’t worry, I’m just having a bout of indecision.

I wanted to make this post and give a warning, I need to do some major maneuvering to get the archives over at their new home. I might lose them all in the process or do something to kill the blogspot blog. I know it’s unlikely but you never know with me.
