Explosion of Color and Twirling

Last week a new order of Shepherd's Wool arrived from Stonehedge Farm.  This yarn is amazing to knit and it looks so good worked up in any number of items.  It also felts well.

 I also received a new package from my New Voyager, my Kromski spinning wheel supplier.
This is Minstrel, a lovely upright wheel in Walnut finish.  I love that Kromski has given all their wheels musical names.  Here is a link to find out more about their wheels: http://newvoyager.com/index.html

First Snowstorm

We do get a white Christmas this year!  Our first snow finally arrived with a fanfare on Wednesday night - thunder snow!
These are some pictures from my front yard Thursday while the snow continued to fall and Friday morning when the sun was out.
