SAFF

I have been busy getting ready for the NoSo knit...my baby booties are made and done...
We are Asheville NC bound in late Oct.
I have signed up for the loom class at SAFF and changed my Joy of Socks class, I really couldn't
knit a sock anyway who am I fooling!! I changed it for The Shepard's Rug class, it is a class
that teaches how to braid roving, felt it and the sew it into a braided rug. The instructors
make beautiful rugs and I have been practicing...braiding roving is much harder than braiding hair because hair doesn't get 12 feet long! Of course, puppy Madison takes a break from chewing our stuff up to help me with the roving and running off with it. But hopefully the rug will be pretty when it is finished. It takes 4-5 lbs of roving to make one rug! I hope I don't have to get a sheep!
I have finished some felted bowls, will send one to the future Mustang slipper owner since she doesn't know what felting is.
We are also heading to NYC in Nov, and of course I have plotted my way to all the cool yarn shops!

NoSo knit

NoSo knit stands for North South knit, it is an annual one day knit in for charity, and we also donate yarn to the Alderson WV women's prison knitting program. Admission is one knitted item (yikes), since the only thing I know how to make are slippers, I am making some felted slippers for my admission. The mustang slippers are on hold for the moment due to NoSo knit being in late Sept. I gotta start knitting now.
SAFF is coming up as well....looking forward to my Loom solutions class and my "Joy of socks" class...maybe I'll know how to make two things before too long! :-)
