It's been so cold and gray outside today, I think I might as well pretend I live in the Pacific Northwest. The weather there is supposed to be wet and cold, and it sure feels like that's the way its gonna be here for a while, you know? So, IF I lived in a really cold, snowy climate, I would probably knit like crazy. Okay, sounds like a plan to me!
I have been blazing trails with the Kinder Mitts. They are really easy to knit and the yarn/needle pair up is perfect. I'll post an update photo next time!
Hubby asked me last night if I've done any spinning lately and I told him no, that I just don't have anything carded right now and it takes several hours to card enough to spin. I said I'd love to card some in the garage today, but he reminded me that the weather forecast was for pretty cold weather and the garage gets very chilly this time of year. He said I should just card inside. Huh? Inside? I can testify that whenever I bring that stuff inside, it's only a matter of minutes before I start to hear sneezing in various rooms in the house. Yet he said he wouldn't mind. What a saint!
So guess what I did today. Go ahead, just guess. (sigh!) You're exactly right. I carded wool. Coral wool to be exact!!!
I also did a little sample of this medium dark peacock blue. Very, very soft but lots of VM. If you click the photo, you can see it in the bag to the right of the carder. (I had to run the vacuum after I finished, in case you wondered!) By the way, I was the one who was sneezing today! LOL!
