Burrr...It is cold on the Spinning C

Picture taken upstairs at the East window looking out into the cattle pasture and over the garden. The frigid winds have stopped blowing or at least calmed and the snow has quit falling and the sun is out.  The wind chill was below zero this morning while I was choring.  Another day of feeding extra hay to the cows and sheep.   Why is it, when the temps are the coldest, it takes longer to chore?    After choring, a cup of hot coffee, a quit shower and change of clothes...I was ready to clean house.  No school today due to the cold temps and the snow banks from the blowing...hubby was out fairly early to go coyote hunting with some neighbors...home alone.  Yesterday I cleaned upstairs and today it is the downstairs. 
I can relax and enjoy my wool and knitting when I know the rest of the house is tidy.



Sunshine filling the upstair studio.  Just calling me to come and play!





1. Hand spun and dyed yarn winter scarf just about done...just need to finish putting on the fringe.  The rows of this hand knitted scarf was cast on the the length of the scarf  instead of the width.   Using two and three strands to knit from my left overs,  and I made this scarf wide.  One of my purple yarns I spun in a silver and gold thread...I think it turned out pretty elegant for an old farm gal.




Ang sent me a pattern and some yarn to knit for baby Evan.  I got started on this project yesterday.





I love to pick up Jan Brett's Snowy Treasury and look at the illustrations.  What a nice children's book.




I pray that you are all warm and cozy today.  Thank you for stopping by.
