Oops

I confess that I can be a bit rough with my handknits when it comes to washing them. The superwash items (think socks but also one sweater) hold up well, but I need to be more careful with the other wool items.

The funny thing is this sweater had so much positive ease that it felt too big on me, although I liked that it hid my fanny. Now it is more form fitting, and a bit felted so it will be warmer. However, it is also much shorter. Not sure what I will do with it going forward.

Knitting: The heels are turned on the pinkish socks.
Spinning: Trying to get back to my daily spinning practice, with the New Zealand Romney; 100g spun, 800g to go.

Pre-blog I attended a fiber festival in Corydon, IN. For some reason, I looked for it online and discovered it is now called the Southern Indiana Fiber and Arts Festival. Clicking on an old blog link about the Fiber Event at Greencastle revealed that it is now the Greencastle Wool Show. Not sure why the names changed, but it may have to do with targeting a particular audience. The Jay County Fiber Arts Festival may be adding "Crafts" to its name, but I know it is to attract more people. Times change.

An additional oddity is how the Corydon and Greencastle festivals have become conflated in my memory. It's hell getting old.
