December 2025 Colorado Get-Together
Denver has had some weird weather in the last month. Denver had the highest all time high for November on the 2nd as it hit 83°F. Then Denver finally got its first measurable snow on November 29th with only 0.2 inches, which put it as the second latest measurable first snow. It needs 0.10 inch to be measurable. The snowfall also ended a long streak of 225 snowless days, which tied with 1888, for the third-longest since record-keeping began. December 3rd Denver finally got over 2 inches, which made it 291 days since having over 2 inches. DIA (official Denver station) got 3.5 inches but there were parts of Denver that reported 6.5 inches.
Enough weather report. Short report this month, with only Janey reporting.
Janey
Janey tells of an experiment with her pinker.
I probably should have done some other tests, but I wondered how the Singer pinker did with (I think cotton) twill woven fabric. I had pinked some nylon windbreaker fabric and really liked the result as there was no fraying. I thought I knew where the nylon was, but couldn't find it. So I can't show the nylon pinked edges. I had some twill fabric that I cut some six inch squares out of. I then marked a half inch line in from the edges to guide the pinker. I also cut one piece with an Olfa rotary cutter. I washed in a mesh bag, just to be on the safe side. I also dried in the dryer. I should have marked the grain line as I think I labeled them with a felt tip pin. I think I wrote Olfa on a turned piece from a different grain line. While all pieces frayed some. I noticed that one edge frayed a little less. I think that the lengthwise straight of grain edges are the ones that frayed less.
In Closing
That is all we have for this month. Hopefully we will have more to share next month. Wishing all happy holidays and a great new year.
