Extreme cold
Another morning with temperatures in the -30 below zero F range. So cold am wearing the handspun socks I made for the Sock Summit in 2009, had put them away but figured now is the time to start wearing them.
Was fortunate to get a several bags of groceries via Dorothy Evans, they stopped at SaveOn on their way home from Kamloops, most important celery, for upcoming chicken soup. But house water needs to thaw before I can fill soup pot and simmer the chicken carcass. First time in the 45 years I have lived here that the water has froze. Weather by the end of the week is supposed to be back to normal winter temps, hopefully warm enuff to thaw water. This is the 4th day now that temps have been in the 30 below zero range, but Puntzi about 60 air miles away has been in the 50's below zero.
Working on socks for Jean in Oregon, to the heel on first sock, not going to work on anything else until they are finished. Then the crayon colours for the Desert Mesa challenge. My colours were pink, forest green and magenta, able to add white but nothing else. Have ideas floating around and am looking forward to getting at knitting with my handspun again.
