It’s been awhile since I’ve posted.  Too hot.  Too humid.   The Lake is like bathwater. So not refreshing.  Blech.  
I’ve been trying to knit and just not feeling.  All I really want to do is lay around an watch TV with the A/C on.  But the dog gets me up off my ever growng backside every so [...]

The Tour de Fleece is over and I’m ready to get back to knitting.  I enjoy spinning but I’m easily bored so spinning everyday for almost a month was a challenge in its self. 
I took this…
 and made this…

 I think it’s going to look great!

I purposely went up to SW Michigan to help shear 18 alpaca.  Yes, yes I know.  I don’t know anything about alpaca or shearing but it was the perfect excuse to meet all my Ravelry friends, the Zombie Prom Date Knitters!  I couldn’t pass it up.
Andrea is not only a member of the Zombie Prom [...]

Well, I’m at it again.  I’m jetting off to meet (and STAY) with people I met on the internet.  Yes, I’ve lost my mind but it’s OK … I like it here ;-)
