After I’d gotten as far as I could on the little girl cardi,
I picked up my Athos socks again and started on the heel flap of sock #1. After a while, I just couldn’t knit any more (hard
to believe, I know) so I pulled out my copy of Barbara G. Walker’s “A Treasury of Knitting Patterns” that my daughter got me for Christmas. I’m taking a class on sweater design at the
end of May and I’ve been thinking about what sort of pattern I may want to use
for the class project. So I spent the
next 30 minutes or so just dreaming about what I could make.
The class is being offered at what will be my first ever
fiber festival. The Magnolia State Fiber Festival in Vicksburg , MS takes place at the end of this
month. I’m really excited to be going
and staying at a bed and breakfast housed in a beautiful antebellum home with a
couple of knitting friends from my LYS . As if being in the yarn shop wasn’t enough
stimulation, let’s put me for two days in the midst of a bunch of knitting and
spinning addicts, lots of vendors with yummy yarns for sale, and nothing to do
but knit, shop for knitting, learn about knitting design, and talk about
knitting. My head may, in fact,
explode. I can’t wait!

Your cardis' are so cute! I'm pea green with envy over the fiber festival. Hope you have tons of fun!
