More Snow, A Blizzard, Spinning and Some Roving

/ LDSVenus

Yeah, more snow. Started early this morning about 1am and should be stopping soon, looks like about 4 inches extra on top of the other snow, so total about a foot of snow? The winds have kicked up gusting to about 50 mph off and on and causing blizzard conditions until about noon tomorrow. We also get wind chills from now until Tuesday morning. I think the coldest will be down to -35 or -40 on Sunday night with the wind chill. Ok, it’s officially brrr.

On to nicer things :P. I am working on the Tweed Pop Rox color roving, it’s so pretty, not quite to the point yet that I need to make up my mind about how I want to ply it, but I’m getting there. The last picture is a roving I bought, oh my gosh maybe 10 to 12 years ago – a long time ago. I saw it and fell in love with it. It is 64% BLF-Corridale cross, 27% Alpaca and 9% Sari Silk waste (left over when the silk is processed that will give some texture to the yarn as I spin). You can see the black wool blended with I think the blue is Alpaca & green Sari Silk waste. I am trying to work on older fiber purchases that I bought because I loved it, to work my stash down a little. The Pop Rox color way was newer, but it was calling me to be spun :P. The After Midnight color way will be next :).

Stay inside and warm, it’s chilly out there!

  1. You got plow piles… winter has settled in your neighborhood. -40??? Yikes! That is bone chilling, I hope you don’t have to go out anytime soon.
    Loving the Pop Rox – it’s really beautiful! And the After Midnight should spin up to something really special!
    Stay cozy, if you can.

    • Yep, staying inside, in a very warm fluffy robe and watching tv, or knitting or spinning :). About 9 days of really cold temps with the Sunday night temps being the coldest is normal. Generally after a couple of weeks of very cold weather it warms up into the -10’s to -20’s in the day and -30’s with wind chill at night. Hoping it won’t be back in Feb because it’s a couple of weeks earlier than normal for these frigid temps. But hey maybe that means spring will be a couple of weeks early? 😛
