Excitement

I went to the Fair this past weekend. A friend of mine won a blue ribbon for her afghan. In her words it's a "fierce pink" that will "growl at all the other baby afghans and make them cry." It is actually a lovely raspberry color. She did a beautiful job on it!

She also go a "best of show" ribbon for her socks. She does the best kitchner stitch I've ever seen. I have to get her to teach me how she does that so evenly! Very cool. I had to call to congratulate her as soon as I got home.

I have to call the woman who is getting married in September. Here's the problem: what do you get a couple who is getting married - both for the second time; both have their own homes and have had for some times - and they will not be living together for a while. I was thinking about weaving the cloth that will wrap their hands during the ceremony but I don't know if they will be having that kind of ceremony.

Next problem: If I do weave the cloth, which is about the size of a scarf, what to do with the project I'm warping now? Since it isn't fully wound out I could put it aside or I could wind for the smaller loom. Of course there's no place to put the smaller loom to work on it so the larger loom would be better ... and on and on.

Yep. I really need to call her tonight.
