OK—the weather—I am (and my neighborhood is) fine.
But a single subway stop away--(a half mile or so) and it's a scene of destruction. Downed trees (big old oaks—50 foot tall if they were an inch)—ripped up from the ground, and ripped to shreds. Some lucky blocks—not a car damaged.. Other blocks—not a car intact!
Worse—a tree fell on the Grand Central Parkway—and killed the driver-and left 2 passengers injured.. And 3 lanes of the parkway closed –leaving traffic backed up for miles (and till past 1 AM!)
Me? I was safe and sound in my apartment when the storm hit—Knitting--
A few blank slates—for the Makers Faire Project and one with a knit in message. I took a bunch of scraps (each 12 inch square uses about 75 to 80% of a ball.) 5 squares created enough left overs for a bonus square!
The multi color block is Waste Not, Want Not.. but it can be used a blank slate if you want to come to the Maker's Faire and send your own message to the Universe.
Socks? Untouched for 2 days now.
Top? Ditto.
(a new project started? Because some yarn was crying to be knit into something.. Yeah—but you'll have to wait!)

I'm glad you're ok! We were safely in our apartment looking at the scary weather (and knitting. I mean really, is there anything better to do than knitting during a horrible storm?).
No trees down in our area, but it got a little wild for a few minutes there.
As I said on Rav, your squares look great. Mine are just seed and garter, but hey, they are done, and I am psyched to have them be a part of this cool yarn-bombing project. Glad all is well in your neighborhood after that weather we had!
