Holy natural disasters!
Living in the eastern portion of the United States, we have had a crazy August. Now, I am perfectly aware for anyone living in any other region of the country, that these are child's play. But, it is a little unsettling when it first happens. We did have one major casualty in that one of the furry frienemies got trapped in the futon when running for cover in the earthquake. He has a huge purple cast that, strangely, has not slowed him down in tearing through my house.
With the natural disasters and the threat of a powerless habitat, I am happy that I picked a hobby and subsequent business that requires no electricity. During the hurricane, I was fully prepared to rock it out 1700's style with my spinning wheel. I could have thrown on a bonnet, long underwear, and went to town on the wheel. I was still able to get several skeins done on the large order I am preparing for Looped Yarn Works in D.C. And, Mr. Cutthroat is content to dye on our gas stove in the dark. Cutthroat Yarn stops for no disaster!
All in all, we made it through the enviro-drama with only a broken paw and five more skeins. When a volcano pops up next month, I just have to keep the wheel above the molten lava. Better start training the sweatshop now to run fast and lift high!
