Rainy Day – Rural Texas Knitter

Dreary March Day

It’s 65°, cloudy and damp. We’ve had a couple of light showers, a little thunder earlier this morning, but nothing much at the moment. We’ve got storms and high winds forecast for this evening and into the night. Not fit weather for man nor beast. Good day to stay in and get some things doneContinue reading “Dreary March Day”

Made A Little Progress

I’m enjoying some plain stocking stitch knitting on a size 3 needle. I’ll need to go stash diving soon to decide on the next yarn for the cowl. I should be able to make a decent dent in the left-over fingering yarn for this project. It’s been cool, cloudy and damp today. Brad was outContinue reading “Made A Little Progress”

Plying Away The Afternoon

Both bobbins are finished… I’ve swapped out my flyers… My singles are consistent… I have a balanced plying twist. It’s at this point I needed a short break when my cranky ankle started ‘popping’ when I treadled the wheel. Ewwww! I hate that! Time to grab the CBD roll on gel and get it calmedContinue reading “Plying Away The Afternoon”

Another Rainy Day In Texas

We went to bed to the sound of thunder last night and woke up to more of the same this morning. We’ve had a steady rain since last night and it’s 12 Noon now. This is supposed to taper off and clear out in a couple of hours according to the forecast from last night.Continue reading “Another Rainy Day In Texas”

Winter Storm

It’s 42° and raining this morning. The temps will remain in the 40’s most of the day and begin to drop into the mid 30’s later this afternoon, staying above freezing as the snow moves in. Our weather guy says not to let the above freezing temps lull us and to stay home if possibleContinue reading “Winter Storm”

Another Dreary Day

It’s in the low 50’s, overcast and a bit foggy this morning. All in all, another dreary day. We have errands to run later and it’s supposed to reach the high 60’s with a slight chance of rain but I doubt we’ll get much. We will be picking up a few things today and makingContinue reading “Another Dreary Day”

Overcoming A Case Of The Blahs

The weather is remaining warm and damp and has triggered a case of the blahs. It’s one of those times I wish Texas would pick a season and stick with it but that ain’t gonna happen so I might as well make the best of it of puttering around in my studio/workroom. I’m thinking aheadContinue reading “Overcoming A Case Of The Blahs”

A Little More Rain

It’s cloudy, 43° and feels like 39° outside this morning. Looks like we are in for a morning of showers. But that’s just fine because…have I mentioned that we have hay? And it appears the neighbor hauled his cows and bull off to another piece of property. At least that’s what he says. We’ll see.Continue reading “A Little More Rain”
