Hurry up and slow down

I'll bet there have been times when you are getting ready to go on vacation that you start thinking that it is easier to stay home.  Seriously, it is a lot of work getting ready to relax.  In preparation for the long weekend we just had, I prepared a pound of fiber.  I worked my way through most of the basket of roving I'd carded, about 14 oz.

This weekend, is a spinning retreat.  The Bayberry Spinners invited members of the RISG to join them on a retreat. It will be a small group, about 20.  From Friday to Sunday, no cooking, no TV, just whatever.  It didn't take long from me to make up my mind. 

I want to take another basket full of the same carded blend.  I don't mind the time spent, fiber preparation is part of the fun.  I love to watch the colors as they go into the carder.

What else is going into the bag??  hmmm… knitting, a book, sweatpants, a bottle of something or other, a camera, some hiking boots and my favorite hat.  I don't know if the beach has snow on it or not, but I'll be there.
