Ginger bread men

My step aunty (well one of them) used to always tell me that the best kind of man was a gingerbread one.
She had many reasons for this, they don't answer back, they are good listeners, don't tell you what you can and can not wear, do , say ,act like.
They also always taste good and if you do get annoyed with him you can always bite his head off.
I'm deffently begining to see what she meant.

Pledge

well I think its about time I went on the pledge. So here goes.


I hereby promise only to use up stash yarns/fiber or yarn/fiber gifts until either my stash is used up, and all my UFOs have been transmogrified into FOs, or Woolfest 2008 arrives.

Exceptions.
1. Other people can buy me yarn, I can buy other people yarn.
2. Swaps are permitted, but only from existing stash.
3. beads, buttons, clasps, shawl pins etc. are allowed but only to complete stash busting projects.
4 gifts must be made from stash.
5. Requests for others will be considered - but yarn has to be in stash or may be bought for the projects by theperson who has requested the object
6.books or magazine/journal subscriptions do not count as stash.

may also be another to deal with fiber and what happens if all fiber has run out, but yarn stash is still in existence. Couldnt cope with nothing to spin.
I also need to work out the details around yarn I spin my self.

Other then deciding I needed to go on the pledge I have had a good weekend I spent Yesterday with pinkphish and Knit nurse watching them dye yarn, and enyoying the sunshine.
Today I have galloped up hills and gone a bit slower down hills and been out for a family meal which is always entertaing.
Now I am off to the woods for a walk befor the sun goes away.

wool fest

Well I have made the blog open to all again. If idiots want to read it they can.
and now on to wool fest, which was a great weekend despite the rain, I also managed not to go to over board.
So here's the pictures.

An old edition of interweve crochet with some lovely skirts in it. The harmony 300 crochet stitches, spin it-a introduction book to spining with spindles and very intrestin it is to. a book on needle felting - and no I don't have time for another hobbie.




buttons from the button lady, pom pom makers, and circular crochet hook yes you did read that right.









on to the wool
some linin and cotton mix - not as gold in real life for a top for me. some wool for crochet socks again for me. sorry hit a me phase in my life. The lovely multy coloured sock wool is for me to learn to knit sock's the lovely pinkphish is going to show me how.


Then the two brown bags the small one containd wenslydale and the larger Gotland fleece the little bag has bunny fur in it. which is so soft.


Over the weekend and despite being the owner of two lovely wheel's, I developed a spindle feetish - who knows why I find it best not to ask myself these questions. so at the top we have a spindle to match my wheels - what more reason do you need . Then we have a little spindle for the bunny rabbit fur which needed a lighter spindle.
Last but not least we have a turkish spindle the cleverness of this will probably be in a futur blog.
So there is my shoping.

I do also have some very nice pictures of the sun set on friday but I fear they to are for a nother blog on another day.
but befor I go here is a gotland sheep for you.
