Knitting Meme….
Seeing as how I don’t have anything of much excitement to blog about at the moment it seems a good time to do the knitting meme that Margene posted…

Wow, not too shabby for someone who has only been a serious knitter for a few years!
Also, check out the Sock Madness winner! The final pattern was one of my design. I was rushed so didn’t get to fine tune it as much as I would like so I’ll be updating that a bit and then releasing it here on the site. It did seem that it looked much better in lighter colors than my original dark color…
Also, check out the May 15 edition of Yarnival!
Speaking of Yarnival, I’ve had some questions about whether I am going for a theme. I don’t think there will be a strict theme, but I would love to see fun and creative posts about fiber festivals. It is that time of year. We just had Maryland and New Hampshire as well as a few other smaller ones I believe and Estes Park will be just days after the June issue of Yarnival. So, please submit URLs to fun wool festival posts. Tutorials in knitting, spinning, and crochet are all very much welcomed too!
