I finally got the hang of crocheting cables and re-crochet the cowl! I love crocheting with chunky yarn, it takes.. seconds! (Especially when comparing to my motifs) Since I've never made anything decent for my mother, I thought I should give her this cowl. I had tried to crochet her a vest last year which made her look like an asian cavewoman, not the trend of 2007. Cowls are super duper warm and since joining Etsy, they're popping up everywhere. I don't make them anywhere near spiffy as others but it's warm and public wear-able so Mum is happy!What about crunching cars?
Mine.
Yes.
I came home late, 7pm from work. (Urgh, stupid plasmid preparation!) Roads are all iced over. Our neighbourhood is on a hill. Normally you don't think much of the hill but when it's iced over and your car loses control and gives you a magic mountain ride for free, you notice. The instant I turned onto that road, I thought " You iz not very smart.." WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
~*~ Plastic Crunch~*~
Ahhh! Crunches are NEVER ever good. All I could think of was, poor baby, oh poor baby. (I bought my Corolla Sept 2007) I got out of the car but did not want to access the damage. Denial is good. My step dad and mother walked over from the house, it was only 2 blocks away, thank goodness and with his help and a kind stranger (I love kind strangers!!), my car was freed!
Here is why I'm counting my lucky stars:
* I'm not hurt.
*No one else was hurt.
*No other car was hurt.
*My car, did not sustain ANY damage!! (It crashed up the foot path)
*I was so close to home
*No other cars came crashing into me
Eeeeek! I don't like it one bit even though nothing major happened to me but it's a bit of a shaking up!
So for anyone driving in the winter time, drive safe and if it is horribly bad, just think: how much do you get paid a day, is it worth the damage you might sustain going to work on an icy day?
If no, boil some water and make your self a hot cup of tea and enjoy some Sally Jessie Raphael. (Is she still on? )

So glad there was no damage to you or the car!! Funny-one day its snow love and the next...aaaah! Actually, its been in the seventies here and it would be nice to see some snow for xmas! xoxc
Take care Tiff! I hate car crunches. Love the cowl. I am knitting an 'endless scarf' in seed-stitch for a special someone's birthday. Loving the British Rowan wool which is not affordable in NZ!
Eep! Thanks you guys. It is definitely scary. Am going to head into work nonetheless today but am staying in tomorrow: another 4-6 inches and ice!
I think I hear crafting time...
So glad that you're okay! Not surprised you're feeling a little shaken though. A day at home with lots of tea and crafting sounds like a good idea... Not worth the risk to go out in it again!
Oh, and meant to say... love the cowl!
A lucky escape, my goodness! (I also have a Corolla, but my baby is much much older than yours - it is a 1985. Vintage, you might say.)
Love the cowl!
so glad you are ok..take care
(super fun cowl)
That's so lucky!
I love your scarf - the color is wonderful too!
I am so sorry to here about your little car bump...on the bright side: you make a mean cowl (want one please) and everyone on my blog loves you...you are a rockstar with this giveaway! xo t
