Michigan Fiber Festival

This is the event for knitters, crocheters, weavers, spinners and lovers of fiber! The only thing that outdoes it is one of the Stitches events--but I'm not going to any of those anytime soon (although I'd love to--anybody want to stash me away in their suitcase?)

This year, it rained, but that didn't stop anybody--I only came away with a few things--some cute purple sheep earrings and a book.

But what a book!

Haapsulu Shawl!!!!

Yes! Yes! It's mine! All mine!

I can't wait to look through it!

On the way home, I stopped off at a bead place in Grand Rapids, then turned around and headed for the Threadbender Yarn Store. I bought 4 skeins of yarn for a scarf (Yarn Harlot'sImage via Wikipedia Swirl Scarf. Actually not her "pattern", just she knit it and there's the picture. I can't wait to start. I also got a newer sock book--Outside the Sox (or something like that). You will have to excuse me. I have this horrible sinus headache, and the brain is REALLY fuzzy!

It's hot and humid, and my fingers are sticking together.

I have two rows left on the neckband for the Blue Celtic Jumper and then all the pieces are done! I will probably finish tomorrow morning.

I didn't find the blocking boards at Fiber festival, so I will have to order from Knitpicks, I guess. I hate to do it--especially when my hubby could make me a sweater blocking form quite easily!

Well, it's simply too hot to blog, and my eyes are starting to droop from the Benedryl--so I better head for nap time.

I had a pretty good day except for the headache....
