Finished the back of Daisy during the latest snow storm. I've got two front panels and two sleeves' worth of flowsies to get me through the last of winter. Better knit slow, just in case.

oooh - you gotta love those flowsies. And the snow! Wow! How did that happen at this time of year? Stay warm inside and knit, that's my advice..

Wow, snow! And here I'm late with my tanks since the weather is too warm for cardigans and wool already. Stay warm and take advantage of indoor knitting time!

Is that amount of snow usual for Boston at this time of year? Those flowsies are very pretty - it's going to look great when it's completed.

Yeah, March snow, pretty normal for Boston. We had an April 1st snowstorm a few years back - 3 feet! Now that was crazy.

Wow--you have a LOT more snow than we do. Actually ours melted then we got more snow this morning in huge flakes and then it turned to rain. Beautiful, beautiful daisy sweater.

Oh how cute - the little flowie pattern that is. But WOW - that snow! It was 81F here today... So you can see why I haven't been in the mood to finish up my WOOL sweater, lol. ;)

Those flowsies are awesome! I got hit with snow too and am looking forward to even more tonight, I am a slower knitter than you though!

Um, sorry guys, but here in Dallas it was about 80 today and tonight I had to turn my A/C on. But hey! At least it will never be 108 in Boston, right? And Alison, I LOVE the little flowers! Would it be breaching some kind of knitting "code" to copy them? :)

Love "Daisy" - much nicer with the textured flowers rather than the intarsia. Serendipitous solution.

No snow here in northern Virginia, but not for lack of tryin' - just a few flakes.
