Shenandoah Fiber Festival


This is a lovely, modestly sized festival. We went today and of course, I forgot a camera. However, there were sheep, goats, llamas, and alpaca. Tasty lamb sausage too. I petted a lot of yarn, but restrained myself to some fiber (for felting).

I also wanted to take this braided rug course but could not figure out how to find the time.
On the knitting front there are several projects in underway,.
First, a pair of Pippi Longstocking like socks.
Next, the Shirley sweater from Snowden Becker. I am doing this in Shetland Laceweight and it slow going.
Finally, I have charted this scarf for knitting. We saw it in a store. I struggled with the bobbles a bit, but think I have them.

Blogging?

In considering whether or not blog, one has to consider if one has anything to say. This blog has lacked things to say. So starting today, I am making a blogging "new year" resolution. A post at least every other day. With pictures (no pictures for this one as I am at the airport)
