Meh.

I think that best describes my weekend.  Fiberfest! was kind of a bust, but everyone who had been there last year said that it was much better.  The turnout wasn’t that great, I didn’t see a lot of people buying things, and only 6 people showed up to the Ravelry meeting.  Some of the vendors were selling great things, so I don’t really know what the problem was.  I got a set of Ashford carders for less than half price, a handmade button for Mr. Greenjeans, and some sock yarn from Crash into Ewe on sale.  The idea was tossed around to charge vendors next year so they can get live music or something, and I think that’s a great idea, but I’m not sure vendors would want to pay after not making much money this time around.It would be a risk, but If they got a larger area it may work.  Also, they didn’t advertise in any Delaware papers, and that probably would have helped.

I spent the rest of the weekend visiting with family and just lazing around.  More stories and pictures to follow.

Quickly, quickly.

I should be packing up the truck now for my weekend away, but I wanted to drop a quick post before I go.

Some finished objects!

The first patch of my travelling scarf!  I cannot wait to get back the finished piece.  I am sending a small notebook with it so everyone can add a little note about themselves.  This is going to be a very cool project!

My part of the travelling shawl.  This is going to be knit by people from all 50 states and the completed shawl will be raffled off, with the earnings going towards breast cancer research.  I may have a button on my blog soon to allow you to buy tickets, but we’re not sure about that yet, so I’ll keep you informed.  I will tell you that this will be a beautiful piece of lace once it is done, and the fact that it is hand-knit from folks all over the country really does make it a priceless piece, so if you are able to buy a raffle ticket, please do.  It is a prize worth winning!

Well, I’m off!  Knitbaby and I will be going to the Fiberfest! in Snow Hill on Saturday, so I should have some pretty neat pics when I get back.  Now, all that remains is packing the truck, getting gas, going to the post office, and picking the baby up from my MIL’s.  I should be able to get that done in an hour, right?  Hope springs eternal!
