Something new on the needles and slippers for hubby

I've got something pink and blue on my knitting needles at the moment.... what will it be?
I just finished knitting these slippers:

Two tones of blue sports yarn. They were going to be slippers for me, but the gauge was all wrong... so they turned out too big...

... and now they're slippers for my husband. They'll keep his feet nice and warm.

Since my last post was about how much snow we got last saturday, I thought I'd end this post with a photo of what the world looked like the day after, on Sunday... even more snow... I spent the best part of two hours trying to dig my car out... (compare this photo with the 3rd photo down on my previous post to see how much difference one night made....)

... it still looks like this.

I won't be around much the next week or so. I'm taking the girls to see my parents... Unfortunately hubby has to work, so he can't spend winter holiday with us... maybe next time...

I gave up....

It's not often I give up doing anything, but today I had to... I was going to walk to the post office to post a parcel, it's only a five minutes' walk, but I had to turn around before I was half way there because of the snow. Maja had brought her skis, so she was ok. But I'd put Susie in her push chair (in the hope that she would fall asleep)... bad move. The pavements weren't properly cleared of snow, and it was absolutely impossible to push the pushchair through it...

So we turned around and went home... I still needed to get Susie to sleep though, so I was pacing back and forth in front of our house for half an hour until she finally closed her eyes. The neighbours must have thought I'd gone mad.... Maja was happy though... playing in the snow and having a ball....

Just to show you how much it has snowed today... This was my veranda at 14.45...

...and here it is at 21.05... You can hardly see the banister...

There are some more photos from today in my facebook album if anyone is interested... (don't know if I have to add you as a friend for you to see the photos... if so, let me know and I'll be happy to add you.)
