It's warm out and I'm cold

The outside temperatures actually reached slightly higher than inside temps yesterday. Unless I'm moving around, I'm extremely cold. My heated blanket has been working harder than ever since I guess I don't have the heaters helping. My fingers have been so cold, which usually they aren't. Bleh. I did go for a walk yesterday that was quite nice, sweated a little even. That help warm me up for a while. False spring is nice while it lasts, so I've been going out in the sun a bunch

Small February Crafting Update and March Goals

listen. I'm trying.

February crafting goals - most of my supplies are packed up and at my parents but I still have spinning fiber, sewing supplies and a fleece to work on plus I should have less time for crafting in the next two months. plus the sweater

• spin whatever I want! alpaca or wool or cotton or all of them - all of the above! Worked on the alpaca a little bit, finished and plyed 8 oz of wool and plyed another 4oz. Did some spindling. Coned some fibers to get them off the bobbins
• knit sweater - made significant progress on the sleeves while traveling
• process fleece - made significant process on the bag. Probably 1/2-2/3 done with it. wild that if you work on something every day, even just a little, you make progress. I have fulled filled my first small bin, so now onto the second
• Work on coat mockup - mockup done, adjustments made to pattern
• Sew something else - started working on coat
