I got to the RISG meeting almost an hour late, intentionally. C wanted to get brunch (go to the local diner for spinach omelettes and hash) at noon. The meeting starts around 1pm and today it was picnic in the park for the meeting. Everyone brings really good high carb stuff that I really should not eat and today one of the members had for warned us that she would be bringing a lot of fiber for her stash reduction sale. I planned on missing these two parts of the meeting. I packed a spindle, some fiber, and knitting, just in case. RIGHT! I got there, plopped the extra beach chair Cindy brought along for me down in the first available spot in the circle of enablers friends. I start to chat. I take out my spindle and start to spin. This:
We talk. Cindy passes around some fruit. So far so good. Cindy asks me if I’ve looked behind my chair. I turn around. I buy this…
That’s 12 oz. of cormo, 2 lbs of a beautiful grey NZ roving, and 8 oz. of baby camel (crack). Got it? Yeah, I could have said "no". For $32.00 ???
I could see the black clouds and lightening over my hill as I drove home. Not an omen, just the weather ridge that I happen to live on. The sun was, and continued, shining very brightly everywhere, while it POURED through the sun, at my house. I kept checking for rainbows…
Oh yeah, Forgot to mention the bead shop. Spell that sticker shock! What the heck!

What is it about roving that makes one want to dive in head first? I squeeze yarn, put it against my cheek to check for softness. But roving? I want to bathe in it.
We were bad, Judy,huh….buying all that fiber 🙂 Tell all what baubles did you buy?
