Just a brief update.
I'm getting everything ready for Maryland so there's not a lot to talk about right now. Well, there is, but I'll get in to more later... Right now I'll just sum up.
- I finished the Waders socks tonight. They are now drying after being soaked and blocked. Pictures later. I also started on Widdershins from knitty. I think they'll be a great pair to work on this week.
- I spent Sunday at Grinny Possum carding with Ann. I forgot to take my camera for pictures, but we had lots of fun playing with batts.
- Speaking of batts and carding, I'll soon be selling some of my one of a kind batts at a local yarn store near you. (Disclaimer: Applies only to people in Vicinity of Jeffersonville/Louisville) Yes, I'll have batts for sale at Grinny Possum. I'll also have some on sale on etsy, though the ones for the shop will have a secret ingredient which I cannot yet discuss here.
- Speaking of carding again, Ann's interested in having my teach a carding class! Sweet!
- I've pimped out some assistance with knitting and spinning this week. I wrote a short-row heel tutorial for Dana, and gave Tabitha plying info for spinning.
I could probably come up with other things, but I'm tired, and I'm going to the track tomorrow.

Thanks again for the short-row heel sock tutorial. I still haven't gotten to the heel, but I've picked the sock back up (finally), and I'm working on the "Carolyn" sweater from Knitty right now too. You'll have to let me know all about the Maryland Festival!!! Can't wait to see your pics!

You and your socks, dang, I want to knit SOCKS!!! I WILL figure it out, I'm not giving up, EVER!!! I can't wait to hear all about Maryland, take lots of pics.
I dyed some fiber, turned out OK :\ Not quite evenly colored, but good enough for the first try. I also hand carded all of it. Now I know why you love your drum carder girl!!!! :)
Have fun!!!!!

What ever made me think I liked you!!!!! First you go to the Louisville thingy and get your picture taken with an adorable alpaca, then you go to Lexington to see the Harlot, now your going to Maryland for the fiber fest. Not to mention you are a fantastic spinner/knitter. Actually, I think I want to be you!!!!!! Have fun and I can't wait to see ALL your pictures!!!!!
