It’s Cold out!!!
We are in an artic blast now. 11 below last night and it’s going to be a bit colder tonight, it looks like. It got up to a whopping 5 degrees today. Good thing the sun was shining to make it feel warmer. All the animals had their sides turned towards the sun today, soaking up the little bit of warmth it was giving. They are getting lots of feed, so they are staying fairly warm. They aren’t losing weight, that’s for sure!
I’m in the process of getting rid of just about everything I’m not using, and haven’t used for a while. We have too much stuff for this tiny house we live in. Time to do a major overhaul of our things. Flathead Freecycle is getting a lot of stuff from us!
We have three inches of snow on the ground. We didn’t get the big winds that the valley did, which is good, since it was so cold anyway. Even the little breeze we did have really made it colder. My face almost got frost bit. By the time I get all the layers on, I feel a bit like the Michelin Man. :-) Can’t hardly move. But I stay warm, so that is what counts.
I’m spinning up a pound of dog hair for a customer. I’m almost done. It’s nice and easy to spin. Fairly clean, with some VM in it, but not bad. Doesn’t smell too strong, either. It should make a really nice vest!
I’m also making a set of “his and hers” hats out of mini llama yarn. Those will be nice and soft. Not as warm and light as cashmere, but close. After that, I’m back to spinning up some cashmere. I”ve almost sold out of the prime cloud for spinning. I think I’ll keep the rest for myself to make things for the farmers’ market for next summer.
Well, that’s it for now…
