Hi Loopies,

Any chance that any of that new space will be allocated for Prism Saki? You’re always my first thought, but I r-e-a-l-l-y want to try this yarn. I know you can’t carry everything, but a girl can hope….right?

This weekend was insanely busy for me. I spent Friday, Saturday morning and evening and Sunday helping to run a conference, and on Saturday during the day I got to see and meet the Yarn Harlot! It was her first trip to London, so everyone was pretty excited.

Oh, and of course there was yarn shopping. What crazy weekend would be complete without yarn shopping?

Sounds like a fantastic art fair! You don’t see so much of that over here (lots of art, tons in fact, but the fair atmosphere is missing). And I love that The Loopy Ewe is going to have its very own personal Lorna’s Laces colors!

Quiet weekend here, still trying to make a dent in the mountain of laundry we came home from vacation with, and gearing up for school (starts next Monday—yippee! They’ll all be outta the house for a few hours!) and still too hot to knit much, darn it all.

How fun to see! I grew up in Clayton and have been to this art fair a couple of times, but it is a hoot to see it on your blog!

Here’s what I was up to:

You’ll see more of my dog than you will of me, but those are my feet in Photo #3. We had great weather for running around outside! Oh, and I got an inch or two done on a “second sock” in the evenings. Add to that the Badgers winning (On Wisconsin!) and the Packers beating the Vikings last night — it doesn’t get much better than this.

P.S. For those perplexed by a Minnesotan rooting for the Badgers and Packers, understand I grew up in Wisconsin (in the days that both teams were losing). Gotta celebrate.

I’ve been wishing that Lorna’s Laces would do a self striping yarn in Shepherd Sport! I hope you guys get the red and white one.

I spent the weekend doing regular family stuff. Soccer game, games (Zombie Fluxx is our current household favorite), etc. We did watch a movie that we all liked (The story of Nim.)

I love the new yarn – I’m thinking Red Sox socks! I’ll be keeping my eye out…

I drove teens around a LOT this weekend. Thank goodness for books on CD and knitting (while I waited – not while I drove!). Saturday we had tropical storm Hanna and got dumped on rain-wise; Sunday the weather was beautiful. Great family day on Sunday.

A little knitting, a little family time, a little stitching and a whole day of working. Not a bad week end. Besides, Ohio State finally got it’s panties out of a bunch and played a little football. At least enought to beat Ohio University. Now on to California. Not lookin’ good in my mind.
I love glass blowing. Always wanted to try it but am afraid that I would inhale.

This weekend was spent knitting estonian stitches. I was in a two day class with Nancy Bush in Ontario OR Friday and Saturday and at the Boise ID knitting guild with her for another day of learning the beautiful stiches of the Baltan area. She is a charming knowledgeable teacher that is enthralled with the wonderful people of Estonia. Get her for your weekend next year! My thumbs are sore but I love looking at my work!

Since I play Native American flute and also play in the annual benefit concert, we have the world’s finest didg player also playing. He’s a delightful man who allowed me to try the didg. It’s a very difficult instrument to play and requires huge amounts of air. You have to use circular breathing in order to get enough air so you can make sound and not pass out. I’ll stick with my flutes.

I spent my weekend knitting and getting ready for prison day, which was today. It turned out to be a rough one for many reason, not the least of which that Hubster is now sick as a dog. I hate it when he’s sick – he moans all the time and drives me nuts. He gets to see the doctor tomorrow (he’ll love that), and then Emma goes to the vet after that. I’m dropping him off at home before I take her, though – I’m not listening to him moan in the office.

The Harvest Festival is coming next weekend, so I’m looking forward to that. I haven’t gone to it in years and hope to get my Christmas shopping done there.

Have a lovely week.
