YOP Week 44 and Stash Enhancement!!!!
Another fibery weekend! Although I only went on Saturday...I did almost as much damage as I did at Rhinebeck!
My haul:
Top row: Bitsy Socks in Someone’s Got to Milk the Goats; Enchanted Knoll Farm Superwash Sock in Beledi; Spunky Electric Baby Panda in Just a Tart and I’m Leafing You; A Hundred Ravens Iachos in Polaris and Aesir in Starfleet
Bottom Row: Play At Life Pounce Shawl Maki in Purple Ash; Tucker Woods Tessa’s Twist in Rosemary and Thyme; Kiki in Smoky Mountain Blues, Hydrangea, and Antique Roses
Also got a bar of soap from Long Island Livestock Company and some pins from Bitsy Knits
I knew I was going to get the Spunky Electric yarn, as I’d seen it posted with a pattern on Facebook (which I got)…I got another free pattern from Play at Life to go with the Pounce…
Also this week I received the yarn I won!!!! 2 skeins from Zen Yarn Garden Silk Singles...so gorgeous!!! Black Plum and Grey Wolf....There is 430 yards of each..any recommendations on a stripey shawl????
Also in the mail..Nerd Girl Yarns Random Fandom....Clever Girl (Jurassic Park) I love that movie!!! and this yarn!
And I know I have another in the mail from MadColor...and I'm still waiting on a swap package from England...it was sent quite a while ago..so hopefully it did not get lost....
Now onto the projects!

The only other thing I have worked on is my Creekbed...I am ready to change to the second color...
I will be in workshops for three days this week...I'll bring a project, but not sure if I'll work on it...if the workshops are "interactive" then no I will not get to work on it..

New England Fiber Festival 2013
The 4th annual Fiber Festival of New England was a success! And a hit to the pocketbook! Wowza!
I saw, I talked, I shopped, I danced, I shmoozed, I geeked out!!!! So much fun to be had!
First, the animals, because truly us fibery folks would be nowhere without them!
My friends at Burgis Brook brought some beautiful ladies..Xena and Delilah
These twin girls, who were tired after long weeks of 4H kids tugging them around, one was Harmony and Melody from Palmer Family Farm
and some llamas...enjoying themselves....doesn't it seem like she is smiling?
And then there was this wild beast....
The Anna-zebra..out in the wild....very rare to catch a shot of one of these!
The yarns! So many yarns this year! I fondled old friends..and felt up some new ones....aahhh!
The greyish-blue skein on the end..I will be getting some in the future...this was Dirty Water Dyeworks...and she's an old friend.....that's a newish colorway..Moon Shadow...
Lots of pretty knits...

Orange was a big color this year......
some tools of the trade.....
Knitting guys in kilts and cowboy hats....

Some gorgeous works of art done in needle felting!
And friends!!!

Winner, Winner..Chicken Dinner!!!!
And the random generator said...comment number 2.....but, oh wait..that is me!!!!! I won, I won!!!!..but seeing as I already have this...I will pull another number...and...drum roll.......

7 Year Blogiversary!!!!!
Wow..7 years..I've loved blogging...and I've resisted all the other things that have come along...don't have a Twitter, Instagram, or Pinterest account.....there is only so much time in the day.....
I have made tons of blogging friends...and even have met some in real life....it is a joy and a privilege to know you....
Those of you that have followed along here know that I took a cross country trip this summer....and while I was at a yarn store in Chicago...I purchased this...
When I got home...I realized I already owned this....so I am going to give this away to a lucky reader..More than likely there will be additional goodies, but I'm not sure what yet...seeing as I am going to another fiber festival on Saturday....
It will be randomly drawn and open to anyone...one entry per person....see here's the thing...I want someone who has actually read my blog to win..not some random stranger who visits once to try and win a prize...so that's why I'm not asking people to reblog, facebook or tweet it for extra entries....while I love having readers...and having new readers, most of the time these people do not return (I am guilty of this too)...I want someone I "know" to win....
So entries will close Wednesday Oct 30 at 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.....
To enter..we all know how much I love yarn...so please introduce me to your favorite yarn....why is it your favorite..what have you made with it?
Good luck!

YOP: Weeks 42 and 43
Today is my BLOGIVERSARY!!!!!!!! I'm 7 today!!!! Stop back later for a Blogiversary giveaway...It'll be open for a few days...
Since I was away last weekend, I did not post. I have a few small projects to add to my list.
I cast on my dissertation, which is the previously failed Creekbed by Stephen West...I'm determined to do one of his designs.
I had three challenges to finish for this Nerd Wars round...Giving Geeks, I made a monetary donation to a local domestic abuse shelter....it sickens me that there is a need for these....
We also were to be inspired by LARPing or cosplay. I found out what a LARP was during a season of Beauty and the Geek and, of course, the Supernatural episode with Charlie, LARP and the Real Girl......my team unity was also to be inspired by the creepy in Stargate...so I made Todd the Wraith....
The last challenge, I am still working on....we had to base it on an atmospheric event....and I'm going to go with the Northern Lights....I am making a pair of fingerless mitts from that purple/blue/green yarn I bought last week from Tess Designer Yarns...I have one completed....
Swap Partner - don't read!!!! I have also cast on a Lucy hat for myself.....I had also posted hers on Facebook and my Mom has requested one....so with Christmas and her birthday coming up..I'll need to make her one...

Stash Saturday - Rhinebeck Version!
There were so many beautiful yarns to behold....and I've been coldsheeping it for 2 months....but, still, I was good!
Last year I came home with four skeins....this year?
Five skeins and a couple of mini-skeins....
The kit in the back is one of the new SOAK kits...this one has a pattern for socks...The colorway is Cinnamon Kane....love the deep dark red of it....
The purple in front of the kit is from "the fifty shades of grey" vendor..Tess Designer Yarns....It is cultivated silk and merino...it doesn't seem to have a color name....the three mini-skeins at the top are also from there...two are destined to be fingerless mitts...the other is a gift...
She had this one line called "Kitten" it was to die for! It is cashmere and silk. Her stuff really is gorgeous...I plan on getting some kitten next year....
The next skein down from the top, in that fiery red that is hard to photograph is from Jill Draper Makes Stuff. It is Hudson in Fiery Foliage.....loved the reds in it....
Below that is a Socks that Rock medium weight in Farmhouse.....My friend wanted the Rhinbeck color...it was too pastely for me...so I opted for this color instead....
The last one, on the bottom, was actually the first skein I bought....It's from Angoraonline, but isn't actually angora....it's MCN mix....I bought some angora from them last year....
The other purchases were soap, socks from Red Maple Sportswear (every year - the best socks!), kettlecorn, some books...and my big purchase...a woven shawl....
It was such a crush on Saturday..that I only saw one vendor with woven shawls...on Sunday I was able to see more and bought this plaid beauty....I love it! I can't find the vendor tag right now...but when I do, I'll add a link....
so, all in all, I was pretty restrained.....New England Fiber Festival is this coming weekend...I'll only be going on Saturday..it's not too far a drive for me....and it's indoor, which is good, as it got really cold this week.....
Tomorrow is my blogiversary! 7 years!!!!! I do have a little giveaway planned....
