I am one step closer to taking over the dining room for my weaving space. We sold the big dining room table today! Now, we only have to paint the walls and ceiling, refinish the hardwood floor, put in the cabinetry, and it will be done. But that will take a while with the small amount of time we usually have to work on it every week. But it is still progress!
The weather is turning very cold tomorrow, so it will be a good day to have dinner in the crockpot and spend the day weaving and watching football.

Team Spirit

I am a Minnesota Vikings fan. My husband (and grandson) are Packer fans. This makes for some interesting Sunday afternoons around our house and on Sundays, when the Vikings play the Packers, it is not unheard of for me to go into another room to watch the game. :)
It seems a little ironic, that later today, the Vikings and Packers meet in the first round of the playoffs and this morning I am threading my loom with gold and green for my DH's wool scarf.  There will be 13 white stripes, 1 for every championship they've won, and 4 silver threads - 1 for each Super Bowl win.
Is this going to jinx my Vikings, or am I adding to the "good karma" bank by magnanimously weaving a dreaded Packers scarf? Or maybe, by weaving a specific number of white stripes, this will "hold them back" and prevent them from another win? Who's to say, but I guess we'll see tonight what will happen!

Yarn For the Next Project!

The yarn for the next project has arrived! This will be for a wool scarf for my DH who is a Green Bay Packers fan. There will be one strand of silver for each Super Bowl that they have won. Hopefully, I will get the warp wound tonight.
