So This Sheep Walks into a Bar…

| 6 Comments

I was a little busy this weekend. I think the realization that SAFF is barely a month away and I had most of the back of the CPH done, but little else kind of caused me to kick it into high gear with the knitting. Behold:

(Sorry about the crappy photo. The sleeve is not really that dark.)

Saturday afternoon Darlene came over to do some spinning. She was so very charming and sweet and a lot of fun. And came with very yummy treats.

She also brought me the little pumpkin plate!

And some for The Boy:

He ripped into them as soon as he found out they were for him.

And I did not get a single picture of Darlene or her spinning wheel. She was spinning some lovely roving she bought from Elizabeth at ArtWalk. I did, however, take a picture of the Corriedale roving she left for Elizabeth and me to split up. Complete with cat.

I’m not sure if Chloe is developing a taste for roving or if she just smelled Darlene’s cat. But either way, she did not want to leave the roving alone.

Oh, and me? I finally finished spinning this Merino wool I got from Shepard’s Corner last year at SAFF.

This is a little more true to color. Well, at least the colors in the roving.

It’s actually kind of a dark teal color in the hank. I’ll try to get pictures of it sometime in the near future in proper lighting.

  1. I want so badly to go to SAFF, but, alas, I’ll just be bringing Maggie home and will be nursing and stuff. :( (Darn kids ruin everything!)

    BTW, can you believe I only have a month to go? WOO-HOO!

  2. I had a GREAT time….and NO…..your pictures do NOT do justice to your yarn OR the knitting!!!! Both are much more beautimous than the pics show!!!

  3. The knitting looks REALLY good.

  4. Candy? You didn’t mention there would be candy!!! I would’ve skipped my nap for that!

    The sweater’s looking really good. I get to play “Rip It, Rip It Good” tonight. Bah.

  5. Okay, next year, maybe I find a way to do SAFF *and* Rhinebeck. Maybe.

    Also, I had to beat Freddie and Joe away from the roving this weekend while I was spinning. I put it up when I wasn’t actually at the wheel, and the next time I pulled it out I found that someone had gnawed through the bag the roving was in and that a small amount of roving had cold cat spit on it. I still can’t figure out if they would like to eat sheep or what.
