Before the post: I’ve got two classes running at The Yarn Spot on Saturday: Repairing Knits and Crochet Edgings. Check out the Upcoming Classes for details. You can call The Yarn Spot at 301-933-9550 to sign up.
There are many parts of the East Coast that are still reeling after the affects of Hurricane Sandy. We are not among them. Michael and I remained unscathed, our food frozen, our power continuous. It’s one let down I welcome.
I got a lot done with two days of enforced productivity. With Michael keeping me on track, I worked on a BUNCH of design submissions, wrote a series of good posts to have as backup when I can’t post something substantive, conducted an interview in not one but two different places, outlined and planned a bunch of classes, and took a backlog of projects I hadn’t gotten around to writing up and made some substantive notes so that I can start getting them to the written up pattern stage.
We also went for a few different walks, because being cooped up, even during a hurricane, can only last so long.
The biggest thing I noticed? Two downed tress (neither on powerlines), a lot of leaves down (but also a surprising number still on trees – those are determined little leaves!), and a creek that was a good two feet up.
Things are getting back to normal now, thank goodness. I’ll leave you with some pictures:
Proper Raingear is a must if you are going for a walk in a hurricane. |
