Storm season begins?!?!

Well I got some knitting done today............in the dang dark!!! It has been a blustery day. Snapped our clothes line off the house, took down the tree that our dog run was attached to AND took out the power for most of the island. Our outage lasted 6 and half hours!!! OH what fun 3 kids 2 of which are sick and then a very sick mommy in the dark with no CARTOONS!!! OH my goodness!!!! So anyway I attempted my FIRST color work. It is just a swatch but I am going to knit Hubby a sweater and the boys hats with it. I will post pics as soon as I cast it off!! Ok my night time cold meds are kicking in so I am off for now!!
