I could use a nap.
Oops. Has it been 2 weeks? I really didn’t mean for it to be so long. I’ve been absolutely exhausted the last couple of weeks. Some mornings I don’t even have the energy to take a shower, let alone update my blog. I’m trying to get my act together for the state fair though. I’m dropping off my entries this Friday. I’ve got one more project on my needles. Here’s something I finished this week.
Behold- my handspun shawl.
This is a Simple Yet Effective Shawl. If you’re keeping track, this is the 3rd shawl I’ve knit using this pattern. I am a creature of habit. It’s nice with the fingering weight yarn. Airy and drapey. It’ll make a nice scarf for the fall.

Uh, is there a reason you may be so sleepy?

I saw your stuff at the fair yesterday! It was so neat telling my mom that I knew you ( well…of you) and that I was in your booty club. I’ve had to give it up for awhile for financial reasons but it’s temporary I hope :/
I told the gal at the table that I’m a knitter and she encouraged me strongly to enter stuff next year. She even took down my address so she could send me a postcard
