Snow vs. Snow

This is what remains of the snow in our backyard and with the threat of 70 degree temperatures and brisk southerly winds today, I'm just wondering who will be faster? Can Mother Nature finish off this snow......
....before I finish this Snow(drop) Sock? I'm ready for the heel on the second sock and it's moving along at quick pace. I'm definitely up for the challenge. I'll be with my Tuesday Morning knitting grrls this morning for plenty of dedicated time; piano time this afternoon; Jon's out of town too. Look for the finished photos by - Thursday??
The bigger question is: will my knit-along companions be this far when we meet for the second time tomorrow, or is my over-achiever, oldest child showing through again? Game on girl friends - 10:30; Starbucks at Excelsior & Grand! All are welcome!

Just Wait

I'm sorry almost-done Donyale sock in my own hand-dyed yarn. You're just going to have to wait to be finished and then wait longer still for a mate.
And you, long forgotten Baby Cable Rib in Koigu for my darling sister-in-law Ann. Even though I've recently picked you up again and started the second sock just days ago, had Ann try you on to ensure a perfect fit - thus teasing her into thinking the socks would be soon forthcoming - you too will have to wait.
See, the girls (Amy, Miss T) and I are meeting today for a small KAL kick-off. We know it's really short notice - BUT - if you want to join us in person, we'll be at the Starbucks at Excelsior & Grand at 10:00 this morning. Otherwise, you can join us in a virtual way by grabbing the Snowdrops Socks pattern, a skein of Noro Kureyon sock yarn, some needles and knit away. We'd love to have you. We're not cliquey or anything.
Oh and Amy, just HOW allergic are you to cats since we may have a tag-along?
