Having Fun is Hard Work
Joe's brother is in town. We have been busy between that and many other fun things. I don't have time or energy for a real post tonight (again!).
I just spent the last hour looking at the last of the blogs recommended on my Contest post from a couple weeks ago. I have definitely crossed the threshold between possibly not enough and probably too many blogs on my Google reader - but I'm still in love with Google reader and want to marry it. I love that I can use it on my Sidekick and make my spare moments even more productive.
Speaking of the contest, I have picked out a few more things to add to the prize drawing. One of them will be a skein of Knitpicks blank sock yarn pre-measured for self-striping dyeing, along with instructions. More on that hopefully tomorrow night. It's still not too late to enter!
Oh, and responding to Flan, who asked a couple of questions on the Contest post and I'm just getting around to reading all those comments (d'oh!) - um, Flan, if you saw me at the Yarnery and I wasn't actually in the middle of teaching a class (which you would recognize by me sitting or standing in the front sun room at a table full of people knitting) you definitely should have said hello. I'm disappointed!
But yes, I'm a member of the Minnesota Knitter's Guild, and I'm planning to attend Yarnover. I just sent in my registration the other day. My first choice for classes that day is Painted Skeins with Janette Ryan-Busch. I think it would be great to get some hands-on experience with dyeing like the professionals without having to invest in the pots and equipment. My second choice is the Beth Brown-Reinsel classes - I've heard great things about her. My third choice is the Meg Swansen classes. I love Meg and would definitely advise anyone who has not taken a class with her before to put her first on your list. She is a genius, and a great teacher to listen to. She tells awesome stories! So if you run into me at Yarnover, you better damned well come up to me and say hi and tell me how much you love my blog!
Oh, and a couple of people are asking me again about how to make the blankie. There's a set of links to the tutorial over on the right hand side if you scroll down far enough. You can read the whole saga of the blankie and how I got all the yarn starting here.
Hopefully I'll have more energy to be a good blogger tomorrow night. See ya!
