It wouldn’t be winter without a head cold. At least I should be feeling better by Christmas. It’s very cold again today – 12 below this morning. Thank goodness for semester break; Matt’s off school and is here to do chores this week. I don’t even have to go out to the barn. But that’s unusual for us. We generally have to get out there and do what needs to be done no matter how we feel.
It feels like a good day to work on my knitting a bit. (That’s after I close out the books for the last two quarters – yes, I’m a little behind!) Since we produce our own alpaca yarn, I don’t often buy yarn. But last winter at SPA I picked up a skein of hand painted merino sock yarn from The Woolen Rabbit. The image doesn’t do justice to the amazing colors of the yarn. I’m knitting myself a pair of socks using the Shingle Creek Trail Sock pattern from Wooly Wonka Fibers. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. I’m enjoying both the yarn and the pattern.
