I’m getting ready

To go to the Fiber Festival this weekend.

I plied the Suffolk and Romney,

Suffolk and Romney skeins 

thereby freeing up two bobbins.

Since I’m taking three spinning classes this weekend, I thought it would be prudent to have some free bobbins to use.

Shelda asked what classes I’m taking.  Here’s the lineup:

Friday afternoon:  Lumpy Bumpy Designer yarn with Saundra Lungsford

Saturday morning:  Spin a Bunny with Nancy Barnett

Saturday afternoon:  Spinning Mohair with Chris Hunsburger

Sunday morning:  Fully Fashioned and Fabulous with Melissa Leapman

I have some homework to do for the Melissa Leapman class–five little swatches.  Have I started on these yet?  Nope. 

I’m trying to get mentally organized for the trip.  I’ll have to leave between 8:00 and 8:30 a.m. on Friday morning in order to get to Jefferson City in time for my 1:00 p.m. class.  I’ll need my wheel, bobbins, combs, carders, angora fiber, knitting project(s), lazy kate, niddy noddy….

Wish me luck.

    I haven’t started my swatches either. I’m telling myself they won’t take long, but we’ll see! I’m looking forward to seeing you this weekend. I don’t think I’m coming until sometime Saturday. I guess I need to figure that out, eh?

    Let’s see, 4 hours to Jeff City means you must be in southern Missouri; my old stomping grounds. I grew up in Pulaski County (near Fort Leonard Wood) and then lived in Springfield from ’91 to ’00. I don’t know if they were doing the Fiber Festival then; if I’d known, I’d have been there! Hope you have good weather for the trip! Tho’ I’m secretly jealous anytime anyone gets to attend a fiber/yarn event of any kind!

    Actually, I live in the northwest corner of Missouri–still about 4 hours away from Jeff City! A bit of a drive…
    Shelda, I’ll see you on Saturday! Can’t wait!
