REDHEADED WOODPECKER

The snow is falling, and the birds are busy picking up sunflower seeds from the deck railing. Quite a variety of birds today, including this Redheaded Woodpecker.

I finished the warm, fuzzy, grey cowgirl slippers that I was working on the other day, and I immediately cast on for another pair. Will post photos soon.

Now off to start supper, and maybe squeeze in alittle more knitting.

Stay warm  everyone!

ON A WINTER'S DAY

                               

                                   View from my window, as I knit through this winter's day. The lake is frozen, snow is coming down, and it's so...cold. I wish this deep freeze - we are in would stop. I would love a nice heat wave of the 40's.

Knitting away on my Cowgirl Slipper Socks, while snuggling in with the doggies, and kitties. It is a quick and easy pattern from the Interweave Knits - Winter 2006 issue. I am using a hand spun two ply of shetland, alpaca, and angora. So soft and fuzzy, they will make a great pair of TV, or bed slippers. I am already thinking about what hand spun, I will choose, to cast on for the next pair.

Off to do alittle bird watching and knitting.

Enjoy the Day! 

CHINESE NEW YEAR - PHATFIBER

                                                             
                    After feeding my little friends, I decided to take some time to check out the
                                            January "Chinese New Year" Phatfiber box.

 Indulging myself in an extra large cup of fancy coffee, I began to take each, and every sample out.

 Really enjoying all the rich textures, and bright colors of all the samples on this very cold winter's day.

Thanks to all - who contributed to the "Chinese New Year" Phatfiber box. I really enjoy beginning part of the Phatfiber family.

Now off to get some work done and maybe....alittle spinning!

Enjoy the day everyone!

TAKING IT EASY

 Brrrr.... it's cold outside and suppose to be even colder tomorrow. The teens for the next few, then back into the 20's. The bird's are happily eating their seed, outside my window.

Doing a little spindle spinning with some of my bright kettle dyed roving today.

The Box came!  Pic's soon.
