Survival Day

Snow days should be fun, but today was blistering cold, windy, icy and I had no electricity for 12 or 13 hours. It was getting mighty cold in here. But I tried to keep warm with some wooly fun. This is a roving that we had dyed a long time ago with Wilton dyes. I split and pre-drafted it, so it's like spinning a cotton candy cloud.

Plus, I found a happy little surprise, too! My first little daffodil bloomed.

The only one to stay warm all day. Kitty in the cube:

I've been playing with this old gray roving and with the new nice roving which is Kool Aid dyed. The blue on the right is blue raspberry (I think) and I put the gray roving right into the pot and then carded it. It will be interesting to see how it spins. Then I did the green in lime and carded it with the gray.

Here are the two spools ready to ply:

I finger plyed (plied?) a little, but I managed to hit a section where there wasn't much green. I don't know...should I go ahead and ply them?

Finally, here are my silly socks. Don't try to count the mistakes...it will only make you as mad (as in hatter) as me. :-) And by the way, I cannot figure out how to get the spacing right on these posts. I'm trying to put the words over top of each picture, but it just isn't happening.
