Pipeliner Notes
From Cperrine
RE: Cowls length. I tend to prefer two kinds of cowls. Narrow ones (not too narrow - more like a standard scarf width) I like to wrap 1 time (so the cowl is double) and I like it loose enough to fill that gap at the top of my coat and loose enough that it’s not on my neck, but I can pull it up over my face and it will stay there if I let go.
For short cowls - I like them to be very wide (at least 12 inches) so they bunch up around my neck and can be pulled up over my face or even as a hood.

From MaggieH

Another thought on cowls: I’ve knit 5 long cowls, aka infinity scarves, since Thanksgiving. They were all in the 24”-26” range length and were knit in the round with circumferences of 48”-52”. The scarves were for women ranging in height from 5’2” to 5’7” and they all looked great doubled.

Sticksnspokes aka Allison in Scotland
Cowls: I like neck warmers rather than cowls as I’ve got so used to walking the dog wearing a buff but I think long enough to twist and wear doubled is best for me. I like mine snug but not choking. I also like wide cowls.
Winter walking: I wear thick merino tights (panty hose? Is that right?) under my walking trousers in the winter plus thin knee socks so I’m only wearing 2 thin layers and my boots still fit. I get very cold hand so wear thin running gloves with mitts over the top since I’ve lost my fair isle mitts which I’m very sad about :(

Nature Notes

We’ve had record breaking cold spells this winter and lots of snow.  When the temperature was stuck around zero degrees F and below this week I heard sounds of spring.  Some of the birds are beginning their mating process.  The mating calls of the Black capped Chickadee and Tufted Titmouse have been the most prominent.
Slate colored Juncos, White Throated Sparrow and Male and Female Northern Cardinals

I’ve mentioned in a recent episode that Windybrookspinne recommended The Forest Unseen by David George Haskell.  I’ve been reading it, a little bit at a time because it isn’t the kind of book I can ready quickly.  There is a lot to absorb.

Diane (Scitcher) photo of a female cardinal. Don’t you just feel sorry for her? Either she’s shivering, or her body is shaking from being buffeted by the wind.


Diane, it probably was shivering and maybe being buffeted too. I learned in Haskell’s book that birds do shiver in order to generate body heat.  Birds such as the Black-capped Chickadee and probably your female Northern Cardinal have a large muscle in the chest and other muscles that will shiver to create body heat.  That’s the same reason we humans shiver also but we don’t have muscles that are that large in proportion to our bodies so we cannot survive without lots of layers of clothing.  Sadly all birds do not survive winters, especially ones as harsh as this one we are having.  There is only a limited food supply out there.  Birds such as the Black capped chickadee have extremely powerful eyesight.  I see them, along with woodpeckers and nuthatches, traveling along a tree trunk inspecting it intensely.  They can see the tiny insects that are being harbored there.  Backyard feeders do help and if you have been keeping a feeder filled this winter you know that birds can drain a feeder fairly quickly.  They have to find a lot of food (fuel) to keep their small bodies alive.  Suet or other sources of fat such as peanut butter add lots of calories to their diet. Bob and I have to be careful about putting out suet because it attracts starlings which we don’t care for.
Red Bellied Woodpecker before the snow started today.

I had another Eagle sighting this week in the comfort of the Steak and Shake. It was about 9 AM and I saw assorted mergansers and ducks in the open water. Can you tell I’m not good at identifying water fowl.  There is still a lot of ice on the river.  Shortly after I sat down two mature male Bald Eagles began flying over the ice.  One seemed to be driving the other one away.  Then there was one on the ice with a fish that he proceeded to devour.



I never gave up listening to the songs of our birds, or watching their peculiar habits.

After my admission that I had to push myself to do 12 minutes on the recumbent bicycle Jo/Qwiltnknitnut wrote
Paula, I enjoyed this episode very much.I have a recumbent bike at home, and catch up on my favorite podcasts while riding. I am also usually anxious to get off the bike, but now I settle in and say to myself “Paula says we’ll be riding for 32 minutes today, or tomorrow AB says we’ll ride for 36 minutes” or whatever. I will admit that if it’s more than 45 minutes, I will break the podcast into 2 parts. : ) This completely removes the clock watching aspect of exercising for me!

From CConnieGail
I love my recumbent bike, OK dear enabler Husband converted it into a spinning wheel. I never am a clock watcher when on it. Have spun 6-8 hours a day for projects and still can stand up and walk, would not happen on my other wheels. They spin amazingly. We call them Spin-a-cisers. LOL CConnieGail

Pipeliner Notes

Hi Paula,
I really enjoy your podcast and want to comment on the monarchs. I have grown several varieties of milkweed for many years and have had some success attracting monarch caterpillars but iit was not until I planted the silky or tropical milkweed (Ascepias curassavica) that my property seemed to become a breeding ground for monarchs! I also have seen fewer monarchs this year and for the 1st year since planting the silky milkweed have had no caterpillars. I planted a garden at our local Headstart and had included silky milkweed. I was heartened recently upon visiting and found many monarch caterpillars. The children were so excited. They also had so much fun blowing the silky seeds into the air.
My family & I are originally from Chicago but moved to Pennsylvania when I was in 1st grade. I keep moving east & now live in New Jersey.
I always look forward to your podcasts!

Lucy

From RebeccaH on our board

Thanks so much, Paula for your excellent video on how to do the U-Boat knot. I have queued the Magic cake Shawl, but haven’t started it yet. I am still in the stage of collecting sock yarn in a bowl to see what I have. However, I found your instructions for the knot so easy to remember, that I have already used it a couple of times in my Lacy Karius which I am knitting from a frogged sock project. It really does work, and makes a strong knot. Even if you did not invent it, you publicized it and made it easier for people to do, and a nice way to use leftover yarn. It’s like Al Gore and the internet. He never claimed to have invented it, but he promoted it and got more funding for it, which got more people using it.

 Nature Notes

During the very cold weather we had recently we shut off our porch/sunroom to conserve on heat.  It has been closed since before Christmas.  When the weather got to a balmy 51 degrees recently we opened up the porch.  Oh, Porch, how I have missed you!  I am sitting at the table by the window wearing my Esjan, a shawl by Stephen West.  It is not that cold outside, about 36 F, but the wind is blowing so fiercely that I watch the platform feeder on the pole sway back and forth dramatically.  The birds are crowding the feeder, hanging onto their perch while searching out their favorite seeds.  In the past few minutes I’ve seen a Red-Bellied Woodpecker, White breasted Nuthatch, Black Capped Chickadees and many Goldfinches. A squirrel is squatting on a big knot on the locust tree, his tail above him to ward off the wind.  Patches of snow are scattered throughout the woods and there is still some ice in Oak Creek.  On our board Affinity said that she is cheered and warmed by knowing that Mourning Cloak butterflies are out in these winter woods, somehow surviving the snow and cold.
Finches and Cardinal feeding.


We had snow this morning, a short snow shower with giant pillows of snow swirling.  It was a heavy snowfall but lasted only long enough to add about ½ inch.  At 1 PM it is nearly half melted.
Female Cardinal in flight.


In other birds news this week we had sighting of a Red-headed woodpecker.

Now a few days later on this gray Thursday afternoon, snow is beginning to fall.  I am wrapped up in my beautiful Quaker Ridge Shawlette by Susan B Anderson.  I used Blackberry Ridge Woolen Mill sport weight.  It is warming me both inside and out. You may be able to hear the wind occasionally.

The Blethering Room

From EmmyZuck

 This morning I walked on the treadmill because I was nervous about getting outside in the very cold temp we are having today (currently 3 F, which I realize may be balmy for you!). Then I listened to your most recent podcast and how you bundle up to walk in. The extreme cold. I seem to able to keep my head and body warm, but not so much with my fingers and toes.
How do you do it? Do you wear winter boots? Sneakers with three pairs of socks? Two layers of gloves or mittens or both? I’d appreciate any tips you can give because I so much prefer walking outdoors whenever possible. Do you walk in the road? The sidewalks around here don’t clear too well, because even in NJ the snow clearance isn’t that effective or efficient – but the traffic can get pretty heavy too.

I wear sock liner, heavy socks, and sometimes boots.  On my hands I wear cheap stretchy gloves and pull my coat sleeves over my hands.  Then I plug the armhole with a mitten or wrister.  Sometimes I use handwarmers.

Nature Notes
Last week I told you that we have been hearing the call of the Great Horned Owl in our woods.  On Dec 17, or actually in the wee hours of Dec 18 I woke up and soon realized that several Great Horned Owls were calling back and forth.  It seemed they were quite close to the house so I got up and walked over to the window to see if I could make out a silhouette in the woods.  The moon was full that night and with the snow reflecting moonlight it was really quite light. Sometimes we think we’ve left on an outside light—it was one of those nights.  I thought I could make out an owl silhouette in a tree near the house but it wasn’t quite the right shape and the branch didn’t seem strong enough to support a large bird.  Then the most amazing thing happened.  The shadow of an owl passed over the snow covered ground right outside the window.  That was almost better than seeing the real owl because all conditions have to be exactly right to see an owl’s shadow in flight.  I remembered the Thornton W Burgess books that I read as a child and how the little Danny Meadow Mouse would narrowly escape the talons of Hooty the Owl.  Danny usually managed to dive into the snow at the last moment with his little heart panting.  Well, most of the time.  Anyway, there are some benefits to insomnia if you look for them.

January 6 2014.  Here in Illinois and throughout the Midwest we are having one of the coldest days in 4 decades.  I’m not sure I believe that but that is what they are telling us.  We had snow during the night on Saturday and throughout the day.  It is a dry snow and has been blowing and drifting.  I did go for a walk this morning and it wasn’t too bad until I got out of the cul de sac and the wind hit me.  Even then it wasn’t that bad because the wind was at my back but I knew that would change. My glasses frosted over and I had to adjust them so I could peer over them to see the road.  I didn’t walk as far as I usually do but it was something.  If you are dressed properly you can go out in weather like this.  All my knitted hats, mittens and cowls are put to good use.

Pileated  Woodpecker 

During this cold weather the birds are very busy at the feeders nearly all day. The Pileated Woodpecker is always fun to see.  One was close to the house a few days ago.  Then yesterday there was one looking for breakfast on one of the trees right outside out bedroom window.
Tree Sparrow sprays show in landing.  Look at his snowy beak!



Pipeliner Note from Galdriel
I’m starting by listening from the beginning so I’m not very far but it is making me interested in doing more things with nature but I don’t know where to start. Do I need a field guide and a spotting scope or a website that would help? For example this time of year there are little black looking birds the swarm around and look like black clouds but I don’t know what they are. If I get close enough I can recognize basic birds like robins, doves, cardinals, blue bird, blue jays, sparrows and humming birds. But I don’t, for example, know if there are different kinds of sparrows or which humming bird is which. I was thinking of making a milk carton bird feeder and just making a new one every month so I can avoid the cleaning :)

1)     Simple resources
Stokes’ Beginners Guide to Birds by Don and Lillian Stokes
Make sure you get the book for your region.
2)      Phone apps or CD’s with bird calls.
Start with birds you see regularly as you have been doing. The more you notice the more you notice.  DIY feeders are great. You can also just scatter seed on the ground but not if you have outdoor cats. Make a platform feeder out of a tray and hang it from a branch. Birds and Blooms usually has good ideas for diy projects.
3)     Binoculars
4)      Go on bird walks with a guide at your local nature center.
