Snow, Sickness, and Spinning

Meet Dick. He has got to be about the coolest snowman in town. The Man made him while Little Man watched out the slider door. It dumped over a foot of snow on us and more is supposed to be on it's way. Little man has the flu so he can't go out to play. So Daddy made him a snowman, don't ask me why he named him Dick. No Clue.
So while it was snowing like crazy outside I was spinning my fool head off trying to get the 2 ounces of columbia/dorset blend that I had dyed spun. After hours of spinning singles I rolled it into a cat ball and was going to attempt to do a 2 ply with the one long single working from both ends. Well turns out I rolled it too tight and broke off my center pull. UGGGH. I hopped on the internet and went to a site that has really taught me a lot so far. Thanks to Spinning Spider Jenny I did my first Navajo 3 Ply!!! I ended up with about 111 yards and I think it turned out really well and I think I might make some fingerless gloves maybe?

Well we miss you guys, and I'm going to be posting a picture or two of those cute cupcakes that you made for me:o)
