    Snow days are the best!!! Sending hellos from snowy Canada. We have 35cm of snow coming by tomorrow for us❄ Lovely to see the fur and feather babies 😀 I think the lines are perhaps movement and under current of water. Thank you for taking us on your walk Kate 😇 and hello to Anna. Taking a moment to enjoy the simple things prove to be the most joyful.

    Oooh, I made these mitered squares years ago. I have some leftover sock yarn bits and some hand spun yarns in a similar weight. Most of its varying shades of white. Guess it's dye pot fun time again. I have plenty of food coloring and vinegar and it doesn't need to be light fast or wash fast. So since it will not matter if the colors fade and get muted over time, food dye is quite alright to use. I just need an extra small blanket for a shoulder wrap. I really like the shades when you deliberately break the black dye and a color way I call tequila sunshine. Make a light yellow orange dye bath the color of orange juice. Start dyeing the yarn once the yarn has taken up enough dye to color the yarn but still plenty left, drop in red dye here and there randomly Not too much but just enough to variegate the yarn. It gives a nicely orange/red variegated yarn that just pops. You could do the same thing with acid dye. There are a few color ways I dye that way. I have a lot of white sock weight yarn I bought and knit up a lot of white socks. However, in a wool sock, I much prefer a thicker sock. I like Lion brand Fisherman's wool and knit up thick winter socks for my winter boots. They hold up well to washing and when they get worn out and felted a bit, I recycle them into hand warmers by cutting off the toe and making a thumbhole. So I skeins and skeins of white sock yarn left. I will hit the bargain bins at the local yarn store for odd skeins of sock weight yarns. Since it's modular, if a yarn isn't quite the same gauge it is easy enough to fudge it and as long as the end result works, a few stitches more or less or rows It will only matter to get the same gauge on the beginning edge squares. The rest can be adjusted on the fly. I believe that is what I did before.

    The snow looks so beautiful and there is nothing better than wrapping up warm and snuggly and walking in crispy crunchy snow, well maybe with a nice mug of hot chocolate too. Loved your snow Angel, do you know I’ve never ever made one of those, even though I’m in my 70’s next time we get snow deep enough I’m going to do that, God willing. Lovely video Kate, stay warm x

  • @fredafarley3654
    @fredafarley3654 3 года назад +48

    Those lines you see are pressure cracks. If the ice gets thicker you will see the ice raise up there. It has to do with ice expanding. Very common in colder climes. Sometimes you can hear them expand.

    We live on a lake and the water still moves under the ice. The ice heaves and pushes together, creating cracks and water comes through those cracks. By now the ice on our lake has grown to about 18-20” in thickness. It’s amazing when it’s in the first stages of freezing. At times it sounds as though a jet is taking off. The movement and cracking do some astonishing things. Lovely snow day you’re having!

    Dear Kate, I've come full circle now. This was the first video I saw of yours and I've been hooked ever since. Any woman our age who still has the joy and whimsy of life in her to lay down in the snow to make a snowangel is the kind of person I'd liked to know! So I went back to the beginning of it all and today I watched you make a snowangel again! So many things I saw in past videos I loved and thought about leaving comments but didn't know if you got new comments on past videos much less have time to read them if you did. But at any rate, I've enjoyed them all and I've had a wonderful time visiting The Last Homely House. Thank you for inviting a kindred spirit from the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia and her three cats in! I wish you every continuing suceess and am looking forward to future visits! Thank you for all the time and effort you have spent bringing pleasure to my world!!!😺

    How I love hearing the crunch of snow! It’s been too cold out for me to crunch, and it’s not fresh. But it so reminds me walking through sand to get to a beach; a familiar sound growing up.
    I do have to say, I purchased a scarf at a charity shop that used the same knitting method. I thought it was complicated, but an avid knitter told me it was easy; she never explained. Your video did-thank you!

    I was curious about those lines, too so I Googled and I think it's something called finger 'rafting.' The article I read said, "Finger rafting occurs when thin ice sheets floating on water collide and push over and under each other alternately, creating what scientists describe as “fingers”." Lovely walk, I enjoyed it. Also really loved the music. Thank you, Kate.

    I do what my grandmother did with her tiny bits, cut them up into 6 - 8 inch pieces and lightly snag them on the tree bark in the nearby trees or the branches of our winter bare bushes. Come spring you’ll see brightly colored bits in the birds nests in the area! Neighbors remark on the quirky nests and wonder how that happens. I’ll never tell. But nice to know it brightens the birds and the neighbors days.

What a lovely idea, I’ve got so fed up with faces talking straight at me, but you made me feel I was visiting over a cup of tea, and a chat. I’ve really missed doing just that with all my usual friends, we’ve all been extra careful, as we are all in our 70s and 80s. Then there was the added pleasure of getting outside and seeing the countryside! I’m really looking forward to your video about quilts, as I’m an addict. I love quilting, although because of lockdown, I’ve discovered crocheted Afghan rugs too. I’m now going to catch up on all your other videos, thank you again.

For someone who has only experienced snow melting as it hits the ground I appreciate your snow walks and angel, thank you Kate. More fruit cutting for drying, cut figs before breakfast now some pears and apples, this year we have an abundance and because of a fruit fly outbreak in our area we are unable to give any away so drying it all for use later in the year, apricots, necterines, peaches and prunes all finished now so onto the next lot.💞

So I thought that whilst I was making a crochet blanket for one of my grand daughters after Christmas I would pop you on RUclips and have a look !! Well I’m still here and started back at your first video three years ago and today I am up to date.. I have 140 4x4 inch squares to crochet and am now at no. 98. Love your videos, I am not a sewing person sadly, I don’t have a sewing machine but am tempted by your English paper piecing hexagons, who knows in time.....!!!. So thank you Kate Norma Prudence Sadie Rita and of course Eileen and the rest of your family for being my support and company for the last six weeks and more to come....stay safe and best wishes to all.

Just like our own tectonic plates we live on move. Love the snow, what worries me is the difference in temperatures, from minus 20 to plus 18 degrees Celsius in one week here. But my snowdrops survived the pressure of all the snow! That's a plus, Kate.

    I so enjoy my visits with you while I knit. I feel like we are friends. . . . My ancestors migrated south into Northumberland from Scotland in the early 1500's. Who knows, we may be distant cousins! And here I am in South Carolina, quite a few years your senior! So that was a spectacular Snow Angel! LOL. . . . . The family that migrated moved on to America in the 1600's and one went on to become a close friend of George Washington and later the first Senator of Virginia. In those days, they were appointed, not elected. George appointed his friend and confidant, Thomas Grayson. I love to see pictures of Northumberland and imagine how it might have looked 500 years ago. Thank you for the views and the company.

    Hello, Kate. Nature is so beautiful. West coast of Scotland only got a wee bit of snow, but my daughter over on East coast, and up north, got heavy snow. I love making these memory blankets with my sock scraps. I use circular needles. I have made a double bed size, and four small lap blankets. I gave away the small ones to family. That shows you how many pairs of socks I have made! I am addicted. Myself and daughters have small feet so always loads of wool left. And husband has smallish feet as well, ha ha 😀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌈

    Thank you Kate, for sharing your days. Walking and talking and crafting especially in these Covid times when lots of us are unable to get out. I look forward to your postings.....they remind me of good times, I do actually feel as though you live, “ Just down the road and I’ve popped in for a chat and a cup of tea”.

    I am halfway across the world in Washington State, USA and we too are having a snow day, over a foot, which is rare for us. I'm knitting Arne and Carlo's Christmas balls and watching the perplexed hummingbirds at the frozen feeder. It must be like a popsicle for them as they keep at it. In my head, I'm planning my garden and later I'm going to work on my latest quilt. I'm feeling as if I have a kindred spirit in you, Kate.

    You warm my heart!! Love all the fun things you get up to. I can see us all sitting along the sofa all knitting mitered squares, with a huge basket of yarn to choose from. God bless you dear kindred spirit, be safe, stay warm, stay well. Much love!!

    Beautiful! I love the place where all of those birds live, in winter its quiet and I love the piney tree path. Loved the snow angel. Of course, Kate, the thing that made all of those open cracks in the ice was the Loch Ness Monster and his family! Gotta get up early to see that happen.

    Another wonderful video. I live in Kansas, USA, and we also have snow with minus temps and some wind. The music with this video was so relaxing and soothing which I love; it did not send me to the moon as some music does in videos!! LOL. I find the lines in the top of the lake interesting as well; like you, I assume it has something to do with the temps and the various depths of the water, Mother Nature is a wonder unto her self. Thank you so much for doing your videos; they are always a bright spot in my life, especially with all of the Covid restraints and living alone. Enjoy your Valentine’s Day and happy knitting............

    I sorted out all my wool ends a couple of weeks ago and am now knitting Frankenstein socks, who cares what they look like under trousers and I made it super easy for myself by doing an after thought heel. Half way through my third pair with the fourth in my sights. Gather those fragments!
