By now, you have probably heard about the second helping of snow that we are currently getting. It is a concern because it looks like we will may be stuck for a while because of this.
Mr. Penney and I have been fortunate in that we have not lost power for any significant period of time. Last time I remember anything this bad was back when I was in second grade. We had blizzards in February that basically meant that we only went to school a few days during that month. (There was a week about 15 years ago where we got hit with a few storms within a week that dumped a lot of snow on us, but I was away on business for part of that, so I didn’t get the full effect on that one.
I did manage to finish knitting the second baby sweater today.
I don’t have any buttons for it, so when it will be totally finished, I do not know. Maybe March?
I am not sure the stitch pattern switch was a good one for this sweater. There is kind of a chevron effect going on with the modified vine stitch, causing the garter area to get a bit distorted. While blocking will help this, the final recipient probably won’t understand what is going on once she washes it. Looks like I have some explaining to do.
Please take care out there. It is a mess.

Lucky baby!
We in Richmond have not had as much snow as you have but still! Enough already!
I remember that storm of 1979, we only went to school for a week I think in Pgh. I know you have lots of spinning, weaving, & knitting to entertain you when you are not shoveling snow. Little Bogey is too cute!
I love your baby sweater, no explanations needed as far as I can see. That is going to be one stylish little girl!
