And then it snowed some more.

BackofHouseinSnow
We got another storm yesterday and this one brought us at least 14" of new snow here...on top of what was already around.  I strapped on the snowshoes this morning and didn't get too far...it's so fluffy I was still sinking about 18" everywhere I tried to go (=hard work).  I took some photos, as always, and then grabbed the snow shovel to help Mr. Sunflower with all the hard work. ManosShawlDetail 

I finished the shawl I was crocheting out of my stash of Manos del Uruguay yarns.  I rather like it, now that it's finished.  More importantly, it was just plain fun to make...easy and mindless but with lots of color...that's always my favorite

project. ManosShawl1

I love the shawl. What was the pattern? I have a big stash of the same yarn in a different colorway. I would love to make that shawl.

Hi Debra...
I found it on line. Search on "It's Just a Triangle" and you should find it. It's so simple and fun. If you do your Manos yarns, please send me a photo so I can see it (or maybe post it here?)...

Yowza Martie, that's a lot of SNOW! Reminds me of northern Minnesota.
I like your shawl--the colors are beautiful.
