Snow Washing

I’m channeling my inner Yarn Harlot or Norwegian ancestor. We had some SUPER cold temps and very dry fine snow. So I decided at 6 pm to snow wash some of my woolens.

I started with all the wool hand knit sweaters I could lay hands on. There is my Autumn Gold, Love Note, Round Yoke pullover, and Rainbow Radiate. And a few more not pictured 🙂

And with the kids (and dog) using the knit blankets more, I decided to snow wash the blankets as well. I left everything out for about 3 or 3.5 hours before I shook out and took inside. I splurged a little and pulled out that woolen spray from yesterday and gave everything a spritz of yummy scent.

I think next up will be my shawls…..they could use a wash.

Happy Winter!!

We are gearing up for another round of winter weather this weekend. But I thought I would show you some of the beauty from the last snow storm. This one was pretty mild in my area and fell mostly over night.

It was a nice wet soft snow that literally blanketed everything in sight!

But yet didn’t make travel too terribly bad. The streets cleaned up nicely.

But best of all, it was perfect snowman snow for Jellybean and the hubby! Jellybean says his name is “Snowy”, lol

Happy Winter to everyone!!

It Is Upon Us

The storm is upon us! I got up and tried to get to work (being one of the few businesses still open) I had the road to myself. Problem was visibility…I couldn’t see anything in front of me! I called my boss and asked permission to work from home.

Now I have a cup of coffee at my husbands desk reading morning reports. I hope to finish these soon so I get get some good snow storm knitting done!

It’s snowing sideways at 2 inches per hour. But my pantry is stocked and (fingers crossed) we still have electricity. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thursday!
