A Flutter
The blog world is a-flutter with reports from Rhinebeck. Here's mine.
I didn't go. I live too far away.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I can share what I have been doing.
How I Spent My Weekend
Well, things have been crazy busy. I'm teaching now at my LYS and at a nearby JoAnn store, so I'm doing doubletime on class preps and models. I'm really a nut about designing my own patterns for class (even when something similar already exists), so I've been knitting alot. This week it was Santa hats and Christmas stockings. I've knit 3 hats out of 3 yarn combos...one more to go this weekend. I console myself as I knit these things that I won't have to do this particular model again...small consolation, but the knits are cute and don't take too long.
Saturday was the Fall Festival in downtown Watkinsville. I taught an Entrelac class that morning, and Steve came down to visit in the afternoon. We didn't get to do much festivaling--I was trying to finish a hat--but we did get some tasty festival food. On Sunday we were back at the yarn shop for Sunday knitting and we got to hang out with lots of great peeps. Steve's working on a felted rug right now which looks great--lots of berry-shaded stripes.
This Sunday we're heading to the Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair. I'm looking forward to it and have decided that I will ONLY consider handpainted lace yarns, sock yarn that is so unique my feet are screaming for it, and Very Special Fibers to spin.
Monkey Naming Day is tomorrow. Watch this space!
