begin with the sheep
It is the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival, right? So I’ll start with the sheep.

I’m either updating my knitting life on Ravelry . . .
Attempting home improvement . . .
Or heading down to Maryland Sheep and Wool! I’ll be at the grassy area near the Pavilion at 1pm on Saturday for the blogger meetup, of course. If you see me gorging myself on yarn elsewhere during the festival, say hi!
Sometimes you go to meet someone and you’re not expecting anything much, but you find more than you’d ever imagined–more things in comon, more things to laugh about, more things to share. That’s what happened with Pam of FlintKnits yesterday.
The Shocking! Skirt is in the works. There are no good pictures in the magazine or online anywhere to help me out with any close-up details of this thing. I’ve completed one panel, and it’s going well–the skirt is pretty straightforward–but I hit a small snag and as a result I’m rejiggering the pattern a bit. Annie and I dissected and discussed it tonight, and I feel pretty confident with my new direction. I’ll give full notes upon completion, especially because by then I’ll know for sure if it’s a good change.
More mojo-flowing encounters . . .
As you all know, I was a pathetic contest runner, in that I had no prizes at the time of the contest. So I arranged to meet Beth at The Point; she could pick her prize, and I’d get the same for the other contest winners. And we’d get to knit together, so it was the best of all worlds. I decided sock yarn was appropriate, what with me being such a sock knitter.
