Snowpocolypse 2014

We got snow on Portland about two weeks ago - probably about 6", and then an ice storm on top of it! The biggest tragedy was that it happened over the weekend - so it didn't really affect work at all. Darn!

We had a great cozy weekend at home watching the Olympics and hanging out with our friend Kristy who was down visiting from AK.  

House view from the street - so pretty!

Thor made a game out of sweeping snow up onto Laea. I think he enjoyed the game more than she did. 

Then the ice came. Everything was covered with about a 1/2"

View through our windows. It was like living in an ice palace. 

We had a mini driving adventure out to the gorge and got to see some of the amazing ice climbs that only come in every 5-6 years. Beautiful!

A Wee Gnome Hoody for Becky & Josh

Just finished a hoody for our good friends Becky and Josh. 

The pattern came from a book of my mom's, but I can't remember the name. 

Yarn: Madeline Tosh, sport weight,
