Mt. Bruce Festival
Well, this was the first time that I went and I must say that it was really disppointing. Not nearly what I thought it would be. Not all that much fiber for sale and it just didn't seem like the spinners were that experienced. I found one booth that had some appealing roving. It was Maple Row Stock Farm from Sherwood MI. I purchased a 50/50 blend of N.C. Coopworth and N.C. Romney. The fiber has been over dyed in a dark forrest green. I just love the color. Not the softest but it isn't too bad. This was the only purchase I made and it cost me and my partner 12 bucks to get in. Won't be going next year.

Grand Opening
The Grand Opening went great! We met so many new people and a lot of fun. I must say though that 12 1/2 hours on ones feet does tend to make you tired.

To all who were there, Thank You for stopping by to see us.

Spinning and Socks
Wow! I have been knitting with Kramer's bare fingering weight that I have dyed. This yarn is so stretchy that is has been hard to get the socks to the dimensions they need to be. I did a gauge but even with a gauge they aren't correct because of the stretch. I finally had to just try and redo several times to get them to be close to the correct size. I am hoping that I have them correct or I will have to redo them for my swap partner after she gets them and tries them on. I am not sure I would use this yarn again because of the work involved in sizing and since I am a typical OCDer, I have been really going crazy with this one.

Now on to the spinning. I have received to packages of roving and will get to them just as soon as I am pleased with my spinning results. Practice, practice, practice.
