Uh, I knew that already – it was dark and hot, rather like the above wip. Not to mention I can't read email during a power failure. It would seem the emergency system has a key vulnerability.
Knitters, of course, knit on, even through multiple blackouts. The result is the new Sitcom Chic by Bonne Marie Burns, at the vast expanse o' stockinette stage. I want to wear it at an over-air-conditioned conference this weekend. Will it be finished in time? To be continued....
Meanwhile, proof positive the heat has f-f-felted my poor wooly brain:
I've signed up for the Tour de France Knit-along, in the Maillot Vert or Green Jersey classification. That means I intend to start and finish my project, Shetsoie shawl by Odile Buatois-Brand, during the TdF (July 5-27). I'll be knitting contre le montre, against the clock!Which is not to say I'm against clocks in the anti sense or even in the S-twist sense... although after resetting the clocks in the house five times (so far), I am wondering why we have quite so many.

Yes, I'd rather be freezing any day of the week. So much easier to get warm than to cool down.
Watch out for these alleged storms we're supposed to have--I've got my eye on the garden!
Sorry to hear that you were in the blackout area. NJ Transit from your neck of the woods was cancelled this morning too. I'll be very happy when this weather is over. Good luck with the new incarnation of Sitcom!
My power fizzled at 8 pm last night and just came on again about lunchtime today. Glen Ridge looks war-torn with cracked and uprooted trees and downed power lines. We also had hail the size of marbles pellet our neighborhood last night...I was in the midst of knitting a Monkey sock and had to put it down for fear of many dropped stitches.
I like the Sitcom pattern and you *will* have it done in time for your conference or else! (bwahaha) Just added it to my Ravelry queue ;o)
I hear the storm that broke the heat was a biggie over your way. My town was ok but the trains were all f-d up this morning. I viewed it as bonus knitting time stuck on the train. So the heat mad eyou sign up for TDF knit-along, eh?
Welcome to the third world...
Bonne chance contre le montre!
I hadn't looked at Sitcom Chic before, it's cute. I can't wait to see yours.
