carpenters wheel and wool

For rhubarbpatch's Carpenter's Wheel QAL

I’m putting things together here, getting some projects kicked into gear. First comes Anita’s Carpenter’s Wheel Quilt QAL. I am a little behind the group, but I almost have all my pieces cut. I don’t mind Y seams, but I’ve always winged it in the past instead of marking my seam allowances. Anita says that I will really, really regret this shortcut, so this time I am going to mark them. What a good influence she is.

Local yarn. Love, love, love.  From Happy Goat Lucky Ewe.

We’re hoping to move into our new house before the end of the month, so I guess that means I’ll soon be packing again. Blech. I’m so happy about the little town we’re moving to. On Friday I went there to drop off paperwork, and city hall was closed (duh, Vetran’s Day), but I wasn’t glum long because a house on the square had a big “Fiber and Wool Sale Today” sign. Squee! The whole town was having an annual craft sale open house thing. I love that. The fiber sale was put on by a group of local sheperdesses. I bought this pretty BFL/Dorset cross skein from Happy Goat Lucky Ewe. The whole thing felt like the “I think I’m gonna like it here” song from Annie.

I’m glad you posted that link… I had HEARD that little town had a fiber shop, but had never seen it. I live right down the road so I’ll have to make a trip. Yay you (and me!)!
