D-Day

This is the place in the Sierras where we will be cutting Christmas trees, a week from tomorrow, the day after Thanksgiving - already! So far, no snow but it's supposed to rain on Sunday. We've never cut trees without snow on the ground. The Forest Service permits are on the counter, ready to go.

I'm still spinning for Alexia's sofa blanket. I've finished the grey that I will overdye in three colors, maybe this weekend. I haven't decided what colors yet - whatever strikes me (and the wool -ha!) when the time comes.

Here are two finished skeins. I wasn't going to full them before weaving, but I realize that when I dye the grey, it will be fulled so will have to do that black too. I have trying to spin them the same size, but the black is turning out thicker - it's corriedale. The grey is corriedale/targhee and I haven't enjoyed spinning it at all - it's like working with drier lint. I bought both fleeces at Black Sheep, many years ago.
I have a problem before I can begin weaving - the state of my studio! Someone needs to clean it up!!
Today is D-day, as in doctor. I'm picking up my MRI films this afternoon for an appointment with my orthopod to see what the future will be for my shoulder. If it's surgery, I'd like it done before the end of the year. I met all my deductibles in January with my foot surgery and don't want to pay them again. I can't afford my body!!
