Montana Mountain Cowl

Beth has been working on her Montana Mountain Cowl but it won't be finished in time for the Fleece Festival. Lucky for us, Diana finished hers. She used Le Petit Lambswool and Dyed in the Wool. The colour combination is great.

Diana has knit a few other projects with Dyed in the Wool and had quite a few small balls of leftovers. She started the cowl with these but ran short. We added in a full skein with very similar colours and you can't tell the difference.

If I were to pick my favorite cowl style, it is definitely the Moebius cowl. It is perfect for colorwork projects because the floats are hidden inside, and it is so easy to style. Just pop it on to finish any outfit! The Montana Mountain Cowl uses the Mosaic method to add color and texture to this engaging knit!

New books arrived today. 

I think/hope we're ready for the Woodstock Fleece Festival. Here are a few tips if you are coming to the show

- trust me, there is lots of yarn. If you don't like lines or crowds, wait until noon to come. There will still be lots for you to see. If booths sell out of something, most are more than willing to ship it to you after the show
- bring lunch with you. Then you don't have to stand in line.
- wear something that you have knit. It's always fun to see completed projects.
- if you see something you like, mark down the booth you saw it in. I can't tell you how many times we get frantic people at the end of the day because they forgot where they saw something
- go through your Ravelry library and make notes of yarn that you are interested in. If there is a certain pattern, print that pattern and bring it with you. Also bring information on the yarn. What it's made of. Tension. Yardage. That will make it easier for me and other booths to help you substitute. When you come in the store I can do it on the computer but we have limited Internet access at the show.
- please have patience.

What are we taking??

Plus more!!!

Looking at my pictures I'm starting to think that we have too much packed.

Now it's time for laundry and then a few minutes with my feet up watching baseball and football.
