Maybe the next picture will be taken in better light....
Another surprise -- Iowa (and most of the Midwest) had an earthquake this morning at about 4:40 CDT. I woke up because it made my closet doors rattle. Of course, I didn't realize why they were rattling. I got up and looked in my closet, thinking a cat might have gotten trapped (except that Harley was on the bed and Dolly never comes upstairs). I also briefly wondered if there was some sort of structural catastrophe about to happen. My closet is part of a "bump-out" on the top floor of my townhouse, and my middle-of-the-night brain though perhaps the bump-out was falling off the side of the house. I guess I decided nothing could prevent that if it were about to happen, so I went back to bed!

I always forget what a major fault the New Madrid is.... I don't know that we felt it here.
We had an earthquake in Vermont seven or eight years ago. I woke up because the house was creaking and groaning. I was sure it had to be a quake and fortunately was able to find some real-time seismographic date online to prove it. Love the Internet!
Good luck with Tussie Mussie. I just pulled out two UFOs (one tank, one cardigan) last night and assessed whether I will ever finish them. The tank could be done in a weekend but I have to figure out the waist shaping. Harumph.
Happy knitting!
If I'm remembering rightly, the Mississippi River goes right over a major fault line. (don't quote me on that) It is spring--earthquake weather.
I love earthquakes but I hate nighttime ones.
I slept right through the earthquake. But I was very aware of the aftershock that happened at around 10:30. At first I thought it was the wind but my house doesn't usually shudder this much ... even in really strong wind.
Funky stuff....
You're sweater is turning out lovely! I am surprised it's not red though. Looking forward to seeing your progress in a few days-yeee!!!!
