Black Sheep Gathering 2009
I had a blast this year! Black Sheep Gathering is my favorite fiber festival here in the Pacific Northwest. A big fleece show, lots of vendors, sheep, and a nice host city.
Lots of sheep to see:
My purchases:
Socks that Rock
I loved watching the fleece judging!
and was lucky enough to get two fleeces:
A Merino/Romney cross
and a Merino/CVM cross
I was a happy happy girl this weekend

SOAR 2009
I'm canceling my reservations for the classes. Turns out I need to cut back so B and I can buy a house this year. Sacrifice in the short term for something you want in the long term, right?
FO shot coming soon after some blocking wires get here. :)

First Time SOAR Attendee, here!
Woo hoo!
I'm going to SOAR! For those of you not familiar, that's the Spin Off Autumn Retreat, and this year it's being held in Bend, Oregon. I figured with it being so close, I should do my best to attend!
I registered for:
Workshop: Spinning for Next to the Skin
Retreat Sessions:
1. Spinning for Socks
2. Blending on a Drumcarder
3. Making the Most of Your Hand-held Combs
4. Making Your Wheel do the Work
And those were all my first choices! I'm so excited to go!

Wedding Veil
I know I didn't update much on this project...
That's for a few reasons. First, really how interesting is lace when it's unblocked? And second, I got really really sick in between when I started and the end of the project.
That's a whole 'nother story for another time, though.
Let's celebrate the finishing of the shawl!
All of these photographs are from my wedding photographer, Kate McElwee
Bernie and I got married on April 18, 2009. Seattle cooperated, and we had a beautiful spring day!
The pattern I used for the veil, was the Shetland Tea Shawl from "A Gathering of Lace"
The first two pattern repeats were fun, and easy to do. The last repeat was when I got sick, and I wasn't able to concentrate on it. And the edging? Ugh, the edging was 110 repeats of the same 10 rows. But I got it done, with about 2 weeks to spare! and the edging was worth it in the end!
You also see that I went a non-traditional route with having my veil custom dyed by the AMAZING Sweet Georgia. What's also awesome was that I sent a picture of the yarn and magazine cover that inspired the color palette to see if the florist could match my hydrangeas of the bouquet. I'd say, she did a pretty awesome job, wouldn't you?
It was an amazing day, with an amazing honeymoon! Like I said in a Facebook status, married life is bliss! :)

Vacation Yarn!
Good gracious! I got BUSY there before the wedding and never posted how my veil went. It got done, and looked gorgeous for my wedding day. As soon as I get my pics from the photographer, I'll post a few of her gorgeous pics when I get them!
I did get some vacation yarn while we were in Hawaii!
I got two Cascade Heritage yarns:
And two Noro Sock Yarns:

New Project
And this one will be amazing. Just look at the yarn:
I asked Felicia at Sweet Georgia Yarns to dye this special for my wedding veil. Yes, I'm knitting my wedding veil, and not in white yarn! :)
The inspiration:
A bouquet of hydrangeas on the cover of a magazine.
I'm a happy happy girl!
