It is March already

Here is a picture from my sledding adventure after Valentine's day. This was before we went and got new sleds that were more fun.

For a while I have discovered my cats staring at strange things (the paper shredder, the bottom of the TV, the stove, etc). Well here is what they found:

It took us about 1 hour and a fat cat to catch this little bugger. The cat just wanted to carry him around in her mouth and then hold his tail and play with him. He has been evicted.

In knitting news, I am further along on the second sock of this pair than shown here. The yarn came from the Red Cross Knit Kit. I didn't really like the boring pattern that came in the kit so I chose a different pattern. I really like the yarn, but I don't know the manufacturer so I can't get any more without buying another kit.


I also bought a toy:

This is an Ashford Traveller single drive, double treadle unfinished wheel. It took about 2 hours to put together with some "help" from my son. As you can see I have already spun 2 partial bobbins of yarn that I am going to ply together so I can work more on the scarf I started with the other hand-spun. Spinning is definately relaxing and addictive. I hear it calling me to come and play this evening.
