It’s a bitterly cold winter wonderland out there this morning. (And I mean 3°F bitterly cold) However, the snow is lovely… it is the sparkly snow that shines in the darkness. (and that my friends, is the only positive thing about having to trek out in this bitter cold!)
All the big tasks for the month have mostly been completed… and so today, I will turn my focus to doing some prep work for my 2026 stitching project and the only other thing on my list today is to make a big pot of soup… it is absolutely soup weather today!
Over the weekend I cast on a new sock – not a grief sock but socks that will replenish the pair (or two) that have recently moved to the “unrepairable” bag. And maybe… just maybe… I will make it to the heel turn before Wednesday’s post is up.
I hope you are facing a Monday with a gentle list… see you all back here on Wednesday!
Same cold here Kat! I have to go over to C&M’s soon to check on Talbot and feed him…I am NOT looking forward to venturing out. But, as you say, the snow is sparkling and that is so nice. Its does not look like our snow will be melting anytime soon. I’ll be making soup in a day or two…I want to take some over to leave in C&M’s fridge so they’ll have some food when they return on Thursday!
I will be very bundled up for walks with Ruthie today and am going to skip my usual run (I’ll do some aerobics inside, thank you very much). It is really pretty but so frigid, and the roads in the city are terrible. I hope your soup is delicious and hot!
sock knitting is comfort knitting. I have big plans to cast on a sweater for me on Christmas day. I started a pair of mitts for my sister’s birthday in January.
I was out to fill the bird feeders yesterday and found myself engulfed in a cloud of blown snow. It was frigid, but it was also lovely, sparkling all around me. I did hurry back inside for a bowl of hot chili. I’m looking forward to seeing your socks, however far you have gotten.
Lovely day here in the UK for me. Been to Blenheim Palace with a friend to see the Christmas display and market-https://www.blenheimpalace.com/whats-on/events/christmas/
Soup making sounds just the ticket for a snowy day.
We had that bitter cold over the weekend. I made Mississippi Roast w/mashed potatoes & green beans — another cold-weather favorite. The high on Thursday is predicted to be 40F!!!

Soup is so perfect for cold (dark) winter days! And congratulations on getting those big tasks taken care of! On to the more-enjoyable stuff! XO
It was SO cold here yesterday, I was truly grateful to be inside my friend’s cozy kitchen baking Christmas cookies!
I do love a big pot of soup on a cold day. I hope yours was delicious. Perhaps our warmer days will travel your direction. I too have the wrapping and mailing finished. I have been contemplating what kind of a stitch project I might enjoy in 2026.
