Snow and first projects from Wild with Wool

This week I've been off line because I've been battling a cold. It was a good week to be home because we had 6 inches of snow.


We only get snow here once or twice a year so I consider it a treat. My little patio was covered.

 
 
My golf cart turned into a snowmobile.
 


I did start Deanne Fitzpatrick's Wild with Wool class. The first assignment was to hook stars. One I had to use four different colors, that is the pastel one and I found it to be a challenge.

 
The second challenge was to hook a motif of 4 inches or more. I chose to do a flower:


 Other than the middle of the flower and light pink highlights the flower was hooked from this material:

 
Tomorrow is the Wool Poppies monthly meeting, I'm hoping I feel well enough to go.
 
Stay well everyone.
 
Til next time, Ronda

    Hope you feel better soon...I'm in my third week of my cold...finally starting to feel as though it will leave soon. Good thing was, I never felt sick or anything...just a lot of coughing and blowing, LOL (hope that's not tmi)

    1. Hi Wilma, My DH "shared" his cold with me. He still has a bit of a cough. I'm doing too much coughing but totally understand about the blowing, I'm should invest in Kleenix stock.

  2. Wait, it only snows twice a year?? I was in Sequoia (both the Park and the Forest) a few years ago and have since thought many times about moving there, but assumed the winters would be at least as severe as New England. Clearly I need to do some research!
    I hope you feel better soon, if you don't already! Unless you need an excuse to stay bundled up and keep hooking, in which case, feel better but just cough gently now and then... ;)

    1. Hi Quinn, Thanks. Since my DH shared his cold with me I look pitiful so he feels guilty. I'll probably be able to get away with this for another week, unless of course he reads my blog.

      I don't think there are many places in California that have weather as severe as New England. I live at 2500' elevation so we only get snow during really cold storms. Higher elevations get more snow but I still don't think it's anything like New England.

  3. If you ever get a chance to go to Nova Scotia and take one of her classes in person, don't hesitate. She is a wonderful teacher!

    1. I'm not sure that I'll ever make it to Nova Scotia so I'm very happy Deanne is offering classes on line. Next best thing to having her teach in person is having her teach via videos.
