It’s been a hectic week. I feel as if I’ve spent every spare moment in the car, which is not conducive to knitting (assuming one wants to arrive at a destination in one piece.) With so little time to concentrate on my knitting, I’ve just been working on random socks, a sleeve here and there, and my dayflower shawl.
This weekend is the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. I’m not going this year for the first time in years. Usually, I drive out to the Howard County Fairgrounds on Friday and enter some piece of knitting, and then go out on Sunday to look at the sheep, finger (and buy) the yarn, and find out if I’ve won any ribbons. (I’ve had very good luck.) But I have SO much yarn in my stash and so much going on between my daughter’s birthday and my son’s end-of-school activities that I just don’t think I’ll make it this year.
For anyone in the Washington/Baltimore area who hasn’t ever gone, it is definitely worth the trip. It makes a nice family outing. There are sheep dog trials, good fair food, beautiful yarn (as well as spinning and knitting supplies), and lots of sheep and rabbits. The parking and admission is free and the weather this weekend is supposed to be great.
Hmmm. Maybe I’ll have to find a few hours on Sunday . . .
I can totally relate to getting nowhere fast. My knitting time has taken a nose dive with my new job. This time of year is extremely busy. I had wanted to come out there to visit during the S&W Festival this year, but it probably would have added to your frustration — let’s plan ahead for next year!!
