Dead in the Driveway

Which is where my car sat yesterday. Oh, she started up just fine and then flung the

whole arm to her windshield wiper off. Drivers side of course. Coupled with a freezing rain sort of snow I decided yarn or no, I wasn't going to town. Gene did get out and fix

it for me, but by the time he was able to drop his work it wasn't worth going down the

mountain to run just half my errands and be back in time for feeding. 

Today we'll get all the errands done, grange for feed, parts store for a new hitch for the

trailer, yarn store, lunch with hubby, bookstore, liquor store and finish off at the 

market to be home by 2:30.

It wasn't a waste though, got some quality knitting time in on a sweater out of "A Fine Fleece", the October Frost cardigan. The yarn is Natures Palette Green Sheep Columbia Worsted in the Indian Paintbrush colorway. I love this

pattern and I love using this yarn. This is the second sweater I've made out of it but not of this pattern.

Your eyes are not deceiving you, one skein is from a different dye lot and I took it on purpose. I wanted ribbing, button bands, cuffs and collar the lighter shade.

The project on the Woolhouse Carolyn also got some much deserved attention. Another 4 inches was accomplished on her scarf warp. I so enjoyed spending time upstairs weaving under the skylight. The dogs all came up and sacked out on the bed

while I wove. I got up for another cup of coffee and when I returned Jack was sitting

in my chair contemplating the warp. I wish I had had the camera in hand instead of a coffee.  The picture of the scarf is at the beginning of the project. Hopefully, I will get it off the loom this month.
