TGIF Mass Sheep and Wool Festival this weekend! and bummer, I’m not going!!!

Actually that is probably a good thing as I have spent way, way too much on fiber and yarn lately and have more stash than I could use in about 3 years time so I really should take a break from shopping and just work on knitting and spinning some of what I have. One of the things I really want to do in the coming weeks is to dig out all the boxes that have yarn and do an inventory. I’ve done a fiber inventory and an needle inventory recently so I have a good idea of what I have for each of those, but I really don’t have any kind of accurate list of what I have for yarns and what I planned to use them for! That would have been a good project for this weekend, being a long weekend and that being a lot of digging, but since we are having company for the weekend and a cookout on Sunday I just don’t think its going to happen this weekend!

I brought the buns to spinning last night. Everyone love them & thought they were very well behaved for bunnies. We were not, however, able to come to a definite conclusion on the sex of the “blue” bunny. Lucy thinks it is likely a boy. Actually, I feel a quite a bit better knowing that it wasn’t just me, they really are hard to tell at this age. I’m just not sure what I want to do about this! On the one hand, this is a really beautiful rabbit, everyone loved his coat, color and temperment. On the other hand I really did want to start with two does. I’ll let you know what I decide one I do!

I’m almost to the heel of the 2×2 socks! Just a few more rows to go! I hope to work on this during lunch today since I don’t know how much I’ll get done over the weekend. I do think, at least for me, with the way I knit that doing them this way is faster! Now yesterday I saw directions for knitting two socks at the same time, one inside the other. I think that will be the next thing I have to try. Perhaps I’ll do some small kids socks to try it out. Once I get the hang of that, I think I’m going to try to combine the two techniques! I’ll be knitting 2 pairs of socks at the same time on two circulars with one pair inside the other pair. Is anyone else interested in trying this with me? It might be fun if several of us try it at the same time so we can compare notes as we go! What do you think?

Well, its unlikely that I’ll be able to post over the weekend with everything that is going on, so have a Happy, Safe and hopefully dry Holiday weekend everyone!
