Snow Stops Play

Or rather - spinning!

I should have been at a Woolly Day today in Stoke Albany Leicestershire but, staying overnight in Kenilworth, I woke this morning to a heavy layer of snow everywhere and found that the Woolly Day had been cancelled as Stoke Albany was snowbound!  As it was still snowing fairly heavily and the forecast was for it to spread southwards, I thought I'd better hotfoot it back to London as quickly as possible!

When I arrived home the snow was falling persistently and it's still snowing thickly over 3 hours later!

Although the roads are still clear, it is settling on houses and grassy areas...

As it gets colder, this evening, I'm sure it will get worse, so I'm glad I got back when I did!

I no longer think of snow as a 'Winter Wonderland'!

Handspun Creations

I have been busy over the past few weeks making some more berets and another Sand and Sea shawlette - all from my handspun yarn!

If I want to keep spinning, I also have to keep knitting - to use up the yarn!

It would be nice to sell some things too, but the current weather is not conducive to standing behind a stall at a street market!

I cannot imagine much worse than an outdoor market in this weather!
What a shame to miss your woolly day.
