Christmas came early!

Last night it rained, then snow fell. It was so warm that everything was like slushy under your feet, and oh so wet. This morning the whole mess was frozen and crunchy underfoot. The steps are slippery with ice, the driveway will be hard to shovel, especially after the snow plough came by, and shoved the compacted snowy mess into every driveway. And still - I like it better now, than in high summer. For me it starts getting uncomfortable around -20C.The following pictures come from two different orders from the same place. There's one sock yarn missing, but for the sake of symetry I didn't include it in this picture. You spinners out there be strong!

I can't get enough of looking at those delicious colorways. I found my new favorite dyer, and she's local! :o)

I'm talking about Maggie, and her little Dyed in the Wool Handmade shop.

I'm looking for an appropriate sock pattern for her wonderful sock yarn. I love the almost solid colors. The hardest thing now is to choose what to spin first, and what to knit next.

Please don't hate me, because I've got the most wonderful fiber stash! ;o)

Last night I started on "Twigs & Berries". Merino is wonderful to spin with. I split the roving just in four long pieces, to get long color repeats. I'd like to Navajo ply it. Hopefully the singles will not break. We'll see.
