It has been a little cold this last week. The lowest it got on my car's thermometer was -22, and that was without the wind chill. This is the Kishwaukee River, I took it on my walk to class on Tuesday. On Wednesday morning, it was completely frozen over.

All this cold weather has had me knitting and weaving like a madwoman. My favorite project has been this scarf which is turning out really well. It is going by very quickly, which is good because I really want to wear it!

I'm weaving a scarf from the same yarn (ModaDea - Tweedle Dee) and it is about halfway done as well.

I'm still spinning as well. I want to spin enough of my llama fiber to make a sweater. I'm in the process of looking for patterns, but I'm thinking of just winging my own pattern instead....

The cold weather has also prompted my amazing sense of style. Take note: Jeans + Leggings + Christmas Socks + Nate's Socks = SO UGLY, but warm! Oh the sacrifices we have to make for warmth.

I hope you have all found some more fashionable ways to stay warm!

We do what we must....warmth is better than frozen toes... :)
Thanks. :)
Hey, how much does a weaving machine like yours run for? Are they a lot cheaper than lower-end spinning wheels...or comparable?
