October 18 is Kharitina's day. Can you… spin?
CrimeaPRESS reports:
October 18 peasants usually tried to complete all garden and field work — they began to do household chores. The evenings begin, in which the girls while away the time at the spinning wheels. By the way, the art of spinning has long been valued in Rus’, and therefore it was not allowed to shirk work. Since Saint Charitina was a weaver and patroness of women, the obligatory rule of the day states that all women today must do needlework. You can embroider, spin, knit, sew. Signs for October 18 say that all these things will bring real happiness to a woman, since she will create her own life-giving thread with her own hands.

- If the first snow fell on this day, then you won’t have to wait for winter for a long time.
