Cold and colder

Well today was the day.  Took down the Christmas decorations and time to buckle down for the cold. The amaryllis is still not in bloom and the weatherman says we'll be lucky to reach 10F next week. Woo hoo! Let's hear it for spring! 

 On the knitting front, I'm all excited about my swaps I'm participating in on Ravelry. Went shopping for some ideas and treats and can't wait to start sending some cool stuff off to my secret partners. I'm still working on the Jyri scarf from Norah Gaughan that was supposed to be done in time to send to my DS out East at Christmas. Hopefully I can get it done tonight while watching the NFL playoffs.  I'll post pictures once it's done.
