I'd almost be afraid to use it, but how gorgeous is this Midnight Sky spindle?

Holy crap, you guys. Check out this awesome handspun artyarn- Clouds.

This cold is kicking my ass. It took me forever to fall asleep last night because I'd start coughing and dude, I need the sleep. :( Also, I am a mucuous factory and I'm trying not to leave a trail of tissues everywhere. My mom is a saint for putting up with my whiny sick self.

Also, we're having lows of -25 this week. I'm torn between finally! and nooooo! because I do not yet have proper winter boots. I've been needing new boots for about 4 years now, and I meant to go looking Friday, but I did not have the energy. I'm tempted by the cheap ones at Old Navy, but... they're really cheap and winter boots in Winnipeg are SRS BZNS.

YOU GUYS. I'm very nearly done my vest- all that's left are the really scary bits of steeking, sewing in a couple hundred yarn ends and then picking up stitches for the ribbing on the armscye's and neckline but... I'm done (the body)!

Woo!!!

Also, thank you to liketheroad and halflinen for the snowflake cookies. Come back to Winnipeg, darlings. We do winter right (ie. cold as hell and too damn long.)
