Hemlock

What a fun day at hemlock fiberfest! So many goodies. Mar and I were both good tho and didn't go crazy. Both of us got a few goodies for our secret pals. Mar also decided to try needle felting. She tried to convince me to try it as well but I resisted!! Too many projects already to finish without trying something new. Of course once she completes her felting project I'll be like darn!!!! should have bought the stuff, right????? Oh well, there is always next year at hemlock!

Off to both jobs today! :)

FINALLY!!!

Yes, I finally got back to this blog after awhile away! Have just been so busy!! But anyhow, got a few pictures posted of some projects and some pets. :) My problem lately is I just can't seem to finish anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! I work on a knitting project for awhile then can't seem to get back to it. Possibly all I need is time. George's market will be slowing down now. Corn and peaches will soon be over then a quiet time until pumpkins start. Hopefully will get something done. I had decided to just knit not felt a bag and I am not liking the look of it. Looks like a sweater formed into a bag! I told Mar I need to somehow make it into a sweater for pepper for the winter. The color would look great on her. I am sure dog sweaters require 4 double points. hmmmmmmmmmm, not to good with those. Mar and I went to the yarn store last week and fell in love with a shanghi silk that the owner had made into bags. That stuff is awesome, and what colors!!!!

Mar and I are off for a field trip to Hemlock, NY for a fiberfest!! Yea!! A day off from George's!! Should be a fun day even if it rains. We have been having great weather, of course rained today, supposed to tomorrow and be cool. We won't let it stop us from finding yarn, sheep goodies, etc. Last year we fell in love with a cashmere goat. SO CUTE!! and think of the yarn. Problem was no where to keep it darn it!! Won't forget the camera to take some photo's of the fest.

Out knit group was going to meet us there and mar said everyone had something come up so none are going. We will miss them!!

Heard from the person who has me as their pal. What a great person with a lot of enthusiam. Looking forward to this SP6, I will have more time for it than sp5 in the middle of corn season!! Speaking of sp6, will have to look for some goodies at the fiberfest. Wonder if my secret pal likes goats???????

Off to finish some laundry then bed.
