Today is the first day of a ‘one week and a little more’ vacation. And it will be packed with yarn-blasting, knitting-related activities!
Today I am at home preparing for the imminent arrival of the better half of The Rainey Sisters – yes, Sally arrives tomorrow! She is flying in to ride shotgun with me during the 26th Annual Yarnover. I am on the committee. If you haven’t heard of Yarnover, it is a one-day assembly of knitting workshops and impressive Vendor Market sponsored by the Minnesota Knitters’ Guild. So much yarn, so little money!!
Next Tuesday we will be heading to Washington, DC to hang out, knit and eat. Our goal: head for the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival!! Woo Hoo! We will stay in touch as we scour the halls of Yarnover and the stalls of MS&W!! We will buy all the yarn they have before the hoarders get it…
Cannot wait for Yarnover! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to come.

That sounds like great fun – two festivals in one week plus! And good company too.

Looking forward to seeing you both at Yarnover! Jan is coming, too – maybe we can get a picture of 2 sets of sisters!

Wish I had a sister in Minnesota so I could participate in all your great yarn events. I plan on beating you to MS&W so don’t get anywhere near…whoops, any names mentioned might bring on the hordes. Like Astrid, I will be on the look out for you.

I’m really excited for Yarnover this year. I signed up for two classes that had quite a bit of homework, and I’m just about done with it. Can’t wait! I’m sure I’ll see you there, wandering the hallways. 🙂

Seriously, you could be my sister and me. Trips to the hemlock fiber festival, sheep dog trials and bags of rejects littering the car. Add a nice box of wine and it’s the perfect day. 🙂

See you again at MDSW! But I’m not going to tell you which booth I will be looking in for my next fiber fix… Can’t have too much competition!
