fibery weekend, almost

If I were still looking for an F, I could have used Fun Fiber Friday with Friends.   What can I say, it was great.  Thank goodness we were able to visit before Steph’s talk.  The shop was very small and packed solid.  From where I stood, in the back of the store, it was easier to knit and visit than to hear (or see, for that matter) what Stephanie said.  But, there was the *before*, and the *after*.  It was all fun.  Check out Carol’s blog entry for details.  She does it better than I can, and she remembers everyone’s names!  I’m doing better, just don’t quiz me.  I will tell you that I did have a great time with Amy Sue, Carol, Cate, Cindy, Claudia, Jackie, Kellee, Kat, Kate, Kristen, Laurie, Linda, Marsye, Monica (go check out her handspun toe-up sock), Stitchy, Therese, Wendy, and Dale.  I can not link to all and get through my day.  Saturday morning when I woke with a barometric / seasonal sinus headache, I first thought to blame it on the superb top shelf margaritas of the night before.  Is it the blogggers drink of choice?  Mine, certainly.  If we could only get a margarita vendor at the fairs, hmmmmm…

  1. So great to see you again! I will be looking for you in Maryland. Two weeks… can you even belive it?

  2. Wow – you have some busy weeks coming up! You got to see Steph talk, now there’s more fibre festivals than you can poke a stick at!
    One thing that story about the penguin jackets doesn’t mention is that they ended up with boxes and boxes full of penguin coats supposedly. People like knitting for a cause. LOL

  3. I can’t help but be a little envious you all had so much fun. The PS postcard is fabulous. I’ll be looking for mine this week, too.

  4. It was fun, wasn’t it? Not quite the way I had constructed it in my imaginings, but the fiber folks never disappoint!
    Loved the penguin coats. What a nice thing to do for the creatures.
    Maryland soon!

  5. Oooh, pretty! I love that postcard!

  6. Sooo glad it got there almost intact. πŸ˜€
    This was a lot of fun. Don’t be a stranger!
