Sunny Saturday

We had fresh snow through the night and woke to a sparkly sunny morning.


We sat in the sun, drank our coffee, listened to Radio Heartland and perused the morning paper.

Paul had plenty of help when it came time to do the sudoku puzzle.





I did a little spinning before beginning the work of the day.

This is the merino/tencel that came from Chameleon Colorworks last month. I'm spinning it from the fold in an attempt to make it a fluffy laceweight. Is a fluffy laceweight even possible?


The Lopi cardigan has the ends woven in and is blocking.

There are two stores in town that sell buttons. Neither had anything even remotely appropriate.

So now it's either drive a minimum of 50 miles roundtrip (for buttons!!) or order online. Rats! Should have thought of this a while ago, eh?


While putting away the needles I used for the Lopi, I noticed these beauties. My size 1 Addi Turbos with definite kinks in 'em.

I don't even know how this happened. They've been hanging in an organizer with all the other circular needles. None of the others are damaged.

Freaky.

Well, as long as I'm ordering buttons, I'll may have to shop needles too...
