Spinning!  I haven't been doing much lately.  On the last Homespun House that I watched she got a spindle and she said "This is heavy, so for plying or making worsted weight."  I don't know how heavy her spindle is but the spindle in the picture is about 2 oz.  This is often considered heavy for a spindle and I think my singles are very thin.  For me I prefer the heaver spindles, all my favorites are around the 2 oz mark.  The fiber is The Painted Tiger.  She's local (about 45 minutes form me) and she likes rainbows so she gets my money.  lol

I ended up just listening to podcasts yesterday so I'll play WOW today.  Listening to Knitting in Circles is making me want to spin more but I have so many project. I did get the repeat done on my daughter's sock.  I figure I will increase after the seventh repeat since it's only two stitches.  I don't think that will matter in the grand scheme of things.  I can see how if I had been doing the yarn overs correctly the hearts would have shown up better.  My husbands sweater has been cast on an ripped out three times now.  I'm going to try it one more time.  If I can't get it I'll put it away for a couple of days.  That's all I'm working on right now.

Yesterday we went to get spacers put in Amey's teeth.  The first step to braces.  If the braces were just for straightening teeth I would wait for her adult teeth but apparently her jaw doesn't sit right or something so she is going to have a ton of stuff in her mouth for the next three years.  When we got to the waiting room there was a lady knitting.  Amey wanted to pile her stuff in the corner and I said, “You know I can’t sit there”  When she wanted to know why I said, “Because she’s knitting. I have to sit by her.” The lady was startled for a second but then asked if I knit.  I said "Yes I don't go to a waiting room without it."  She was working with some purple and silver (where the silver was wrapped around the purple like Christmas yarn) that looked acrylic.  She said she was making a poncho for her sister. She said she would also add some crochet flowers with pretty button centers. Wile that is not my style I hope her sister really likes it.  She said she works with home care and one of her clients was teaching her.  She had never heard about Ravelry so I told her.  I always try to sell people on the free patterns and once they get there I think they will be hoked.  I had to go pay so I didn't get to talk to her for long but I hope she joins Ravelry and has fun.  It would also be fun if her sister lived in the area and I saw the poncho in the wild.

It's snowing again/still.  It was a work out to get to the bus stop when the snow was up to my knees.  My son was a little freaked out how far he was sinking in the snow.  It's still snowing a little and the roads are bad.  I secretly think they didn't cancel school today because there were so many days off for weather already.  It's definetly a hot coco day.
