I was quite the early bird the next morning! I had time to enjoy the trip to the fiber festival and snap some great photos.<img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6hfFynWnHS0PdflnWBFTPr0EbOasJXfEqVXnoQNJJxGRpQOJ0WGb1SR1iHME4tZhy1Sa2bg52KQMuCFViox1Iveowyd4MvC8JdUEkHyACZjMg4WqQ4QiDKepEuQiN2aZTjFviDg/s320/IMG_8331.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476234149703778274" border="0" />I really couldn't resist these guys...

It was reserve champion which I was really pleased with. The comments stated it needed to be wet blocked. It was.... twice. But that's fine by me! I'm happy with what I got. I don't think I'm that great of a spinner so I was really pleased with the results. I also entered a skein of handspun quiviut with comments of needs to be more even. Let me tell you spinning a fiber that is about the length of a guinea pig's hair tends to be a little difficult to keep even. I thought it was quite nice considering those factors.... but whatevah. It was fun to do and a good experience. Was that whiny? Oh my I hope not.

I just keep showing up.<div>This tip actually comes from <a href="http://www.knitquest.typepad.com">Sam</a>.... I was fussing once about putting zippers into cardigans. Sam suggested that I try double sided tape that is used for scrapbooking. This is like the greatest thing ever! You just stick the tape to the zipper and then place it into the sweater. You can move it around and make adjustments. I place the tape, and then sew the zipper into place with needle and thread. I try to remove the tape as much as possible, but I don't worry if some stays on.</div><div><br /></div><div>Soon I'm going to post about Kentucky Sheep and Fiber!

I get asked a lot how many stitches should be cast on to make "the swatch". I have found a good way to get your answer for this is to look at the gauge of the pattern. If it is 5 sts. per in. I multiply that by four and that is how many I cast on.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-SAfFjjwAT6vvI-9Bn3x7kSRFRN28NA-Szlo_n98XBkaCxaU3y-G5oEA-xAy1RIwUFOTWEKUJJ96U0RDZrBj9lZ5hXj-32bHnNZhRiPwXEMTYNRhvWioy4tGKw-delolPFyNX3Q/s320/IMG_8292.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475570843003316450" /><div>Peace and love from Tot and her new socks! : )</div>susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02318991425534780309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27508505.post-16538002150709126232010-05-25T19:52:00.003-04:002010-05-25T19:59:17.641-04:00In trying to make myself blog more I've been thinking what I can do......<br />I've decided to have a tip a day.... hey! that's my goal.... I may miss a few. ; )<br />Okay, back to the tips. I'm going to try to think of things you may not know.<br />So here is the tip for today.<br />When beginning a new project.... make sure that you start knitting with the correct end of your yarn. If you run your fingers down the strand of yarn it will feel either smooth or rough and you will be able to feel the fibers. If it is smooth and not "fibery" you are going correctly. If it feels rough and fibery you are knitting against the fibers and NOT going the right way. I didn't know this for a long time. You may have to rewind a ball of yarn at times to get the fibers travelling in the correct direction. This can effect how your stitches lie. It is best to use the yarn with the fibers travelling in the correct direction.susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02318991425534780309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27508505.post-23139606588904557942010-05-24T13:09:00.002-04:002010-05-24T13:37:51.720-04:00I love a good fleece. This one is exceptional. It is about a nine pound raw cormo fleece. This fleece was blanketed and skirted very well at shearing.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjep8ECE6yXuIu_FHoloZ4uS0be0IjQkjc_WtgYQsaG-hmDtbsTrx6nakCkMx4XXQlV7gbAJSGSIApY9Okx81wLas1dlNm_Jznn-JTTfyhAzMECnDWmeb7ANF30Mvp47rb4nGbBpQ/s1600/IMG_0884.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjep8ECE6yXuIu_FHoloZ4uS0be0IjQkjc_WtgYQsaG-hmDtbsTrx6nakCkMx4XXQlV7gbAJSGSIApY9Okx81wLas1dlNm_Jznn-JTTfyhAzMECnDWmeb7ANF30Mvp47rb4nGbBpQ/s320/IMG_0884.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474886317147967730" /></a>I'm going to show a little bit of the process. I start by taking a very thin towel and taking the locks in small chunks. I line them in two rows fold them up and submerge them into a almost boiling pan of water on the stove.<br /><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigM-xRJf0bnFXKTRm05kwJriD9_yk7_8qizR0EiyUf1nZK7jqrduFX3nYA05-eudaKa2hBuEKixSggLiFtNcNBX_9ccqe8jQhIZdKhbXGAF0b7bVINgwH75fcA4d8qdpBaXJRSkg/s320/IMG_0913.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474886302540516098" />I allow them to steam for about an hour. I remove the whole bundle, lay it aside, change my water and resubmerge the bundle. I let it steam for however long I feel is good. ; )<div>I do this twice with a wool soap or Dawn dish liquid. Then I do two steaming rinses on the stove. I lay the bundle aside to allow it to cool. When the bundle is cool enough for me to handle I gently squeeze the excess water out of the locks.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgtSOvB8FwXoYPtCwDQuZEOPiH_ty2oqkf7W0nPCXIAxYJ3bl0C75HeKDBzUspwb00JZFt6-Xns4nTKNQaeM14wlYx4mBYLt5EDZVxyCNQcbs5VRCN-fDeD4S3EdRYr6Zv52f6w/s1600/IMG_0902.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOgtSOvB8FwXoYPtCwDQuZEOPiH_ty2oqkf7W0nPCXIAxYJ3bl0C75HeKDBzUspwb00JZFt6-Xns4nTKNQaeM14wlYx4mBYLt5EDZVxyCNQcbs5VRCN-fDeD4S3EdRYr6Zv52f6w/s320/IMG_0902.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474886311423838050" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD7MYb5XvC5Id1GuI8xsq70DBRsMhDPWPISrRrTPfHJZBQEEFHa4jeaf8u_yB_A2878vjHL7QQg4l2r9Lf2jU13n2Mf9dgjtRTaVexHCCUrP7RCD5JAErFa6d5k26lNoC7Wg5LRw/s1600/IMG_0898.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 179px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD7MYb5XvC5Id1GuI8xsq70DBRsMhDPWPISrRrTPfHJZBQEEFHa4jeaf8u_yB_A2878vjHL7QQg4l2r9Lf2jU13n2Mf9dgjtRTaVexHCCUrP7RCD5JAErFa6d5k26lNoC7Wg5LRw/s320/IMG_0898.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474886293183362914" /></a>This is what they look like after they've had a bath.

The day was filled with a great Sweater Fitness workshop. This was a 6 hour class designed to help you really figure out what your shape is, your exact measurements, and how to adapt knowing these things in your knitting to use them in the best way for your own body. I loved this. It was fabulous! I think it is something a lot of us as knitters need to put more thought into sometimes.

What do I say? Why has this happened? Why is it the brightest stars in my life are snatched from me? Why do I love so deeply? Why does it kill my soul? When will it feel better? When these things happen I feel like I revert back to about a 6 year old mentality. I get very angry and I cry alot.<div>Cancer has stripped me of loved ones over and over. A 14 year old family member stolen by Leukemia. A few years later my dear uncle who was like a father to me taken by prostate cancer when my daughter was just a few weeks old. Last year before I flew out to Rhinebeck, I attended the funeral of one of my best friends. Becky introduced me to "good" yarn and taught me to knit. Taken from me way to soon by breast cancer. This year, almost one year later, I lose another great knitter....Dana.</div><div>Now I don't know what cancer has taken this interest in the people I love for. But I know I don't like it. I hate it. I hate cancer. I'm afraid of it. I wonder who it has it's sights on next. </div><div>I have learned some things through these losses. I have learned to be a better friend. I have learned to be there....all the way to the end, even if it is hard for me to do. I have learned to let the tears fall. Let them fall right on the person. Let them know the depth of your love for them. Let them know how much you will miss them when they are gone. Let them know what an impact they have had on your life. Let them know YOU are a better person for having them in your life for the time you had them. Let them know that you will be there for them until they are no more. </div><div>Christmas had a whole different look to me this year. As I watched everyone around me enjoying the festivities. I couldn't help feeling the burning ache in my heart for the loss of my dear friend. It was real life. It wasn't covered in lights and blurred by the holiday. It was a burning hole in my heart. </div><div>It was a darkness created by a star in my life that had been snuffed out all to soon.</div><div>Let people know you love them. It may be the only chance you have.</div>susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02318991425534780309noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27508505.post-81230690919976808072009-11-23T00:01:00.004-05:002009-11-23T00:07:57.852-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhortMT5vj8K2odsJL3scXfPLhbhz8kk9wj9LAn1POo2kpGu7E_JhQQ7FkZdZiof-2ZVbcvb3mWyCUn-_sVnF46RxfJmOfpD2Hn7j8RKLlFJk5oTIZbhwcqqJv8qj224nA3zv-ZZw/s1600/pink_starburst_notebook.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 140px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhortMT5vj8K2odsJL3scXfPLhbhz8kk9wj9LAn1POo2kpGu7E_JhQQ7FkZdZiof-2ZVbcvb3mWyCUn-_sVnF46RxfJmOfpD2Hn7j8RKLlFJk5oTIZbhwcqqJv8qj224nA3zv-ZZw/s320/pink_starburst_notebook.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407159901543375890" /></a><br />London calling....<div>So I must attend...</div><div>This event is being hosted by two of my most favs...

I have horrible blogging habits. I'm sorry. <div>I've been thinking about what I'm going to do to be different from what I normally do after an event. So I'm thinking I'm only going to drizzle out bits at a time.</div><div>I would like to review the yarns as I knit with them. Most are new for me! Photo one is Crown Mountain Farms Sock Hop. This is an absolute delight. A sock just magically flew off my needles. I could hardly lay it down. It's a superwash merino that is handspun. Just lovely. Photo two is Crown Mountain Farms fiber. We got a chance to chat with Klaus, the dyer, and we fell in love with his goodies! Big accident in that booth. The biggest actually. I wanted one of every color. It was tough. Go check them out!</div><div>The best part of any of these trips is getting to see "your peeps". People who think the same way, have the same love of your craft, people who "get you", and love that you're wearing your Queen of Beads with patent red leather shoes with your pants rolled up for all the world to see, people that tell you to just go ahead and buy it, seriously, because it may like become extinct or something, people that you can be your true self with. That is what I love the most about these trips. </div><div>I love that we never stop going from the time we get together. I love laughing pretty much every second. I love that we find humor in just about anything. I love every single second of every day. I feel so lucky to have been part of such an amazing event. I feel really blessed to have spent the time with the amazing teachers that I had in my classes. I don't think my feet have hardly touched the ground since I left Judith's room. My love for spinning has been set fire. What an amazing woman. I wish I could spend days with her. </div><div>Photo three...Socktopus...my BFF. Here for Sock Summit from clear across the pond. I just love that. Any time spent with her is guaranteed fun.
