it snowed some again last night. Not too cold, just enough to keep it from melting much. The roads are clear, but there's snow all over the ground.
I spent a nice couple of hours with my fibercraft group - we talked about lace work and one of the members showed how to knit lace for those who did not know how. We always have a nice potluck and some equally good conversation. I talked with one of the members about how to card my angora rabbit fur with some wool so I can spin up some nice fuzzy angora yarn. She told me not to card in more than 30% angora or it will just not be springy enough and the yarn would have a tendency to stretch & sag too much due to the fact that angora has not the spring-back of wool. Sounds good to me. We shall see how the carding goes, I guess. Then I'll have to spin it and that is sounding scarey, LOL.

Always something new to learn. We had a little rain here in the valley. Looks like we're headed for another cold spell, though, if it materializes.
