And it's MINE! Yay!
This yarn comes from "Plum Crazy Ranch", and I bought it within 30 minutes of arriving at OFFF on Saturday morning. The creator said she'd had it hanging up for a year and a half — which at first I thought meant, no one had bought it for a year and a half, which I could not believe — and then she continued, "but I decided I could finally part with it."
Once again, it’s that time of year — my #1 favorite fiber event, the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival, is this upcoming weekend!
Why is it my favorite? Probably because it was the first one I ever went to, when we moved here from Texas. You have to understand that handknitting was not nearly as popular a decade ago as it is today — and certainly not in Texas, it wasn’t. When I entered the Canby fairgrounds and saw what looked like the WHOLE WORLD of yarn and knitting and books and fleece and animals and classes and and and…!!
Hooray!! my favorite fiber festival of the entire year is right around the corner!!
This weekend is the annual OR Flock & Fiber Festival:

Ya know, it’s hard to blog when the things you are doing are (a) things that you can’t write about or (b) boring.
In the second category lately are many administrative things, like setting up fall class schedules and working on websites. The good news is, the Polar Bear Patterns site is coming along nicely — well, at least it’s functional. There are still a few things to work out — mainly I’ve been having issues figuring out just how to glom everything I do into one place. It’s harder than it sounds: patterns, classes, general knitting, etc. At least, it’s harder for me than it sounds like it ought to be. I’ve been doing everything myself up to now, but I’m thinking I may soon need some professional help. (And I’ll need someone to work on my websites too — ba-dum bump!)
