So today is supposed to mark the biggest, giantest, most snowpocalyptic blizzard of forever and a half. I'm treating it like I normally do: ignoring it and going on with my daily life. Today I am off to teach a new session of belly dance at another community centre. I have a workout to do, and I have a client to train. I may even pick up a few groceries on the way back from teaching.

I will dress warmly, though. Three cheers for my hand-knit wool scarf, my winter boots, and my thrift shop-scored sheepskin coat!

When I get home, I have to do the dishes and maybe engage in some cookery. And then, if I have the wherewithal, I will attempt to teach myself some basic naalbinding. I'd like to make hats, mittens, and socks the Viking way. Look at some of the stuff made with this ancient technique:

And here's a tutorial:

And on that note, I'm off to teach my dance class. Toodlepip.
