It would probably be a little over the top if I skipped town to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, wouldn’t it? But it’s free to get in! *sigh* It is still 3 weeks away, but I’m getting festival envy. Just think … all of that yarn … oh my … I’m hyperventilating just thinking about it. Such yumminess!
Hmmm… if I go to the festival to promote Blogomania and knitting blogs, it is a business trip then – isn’t it?
Yes, I know that those of you that don’t knit or crochet think I’m nuts right now. Yes, there are actual festivals for these things. Not only festivals, but there is so much more. Knitting tours for England and Ireland. Knitting cruises. Oh, the places I could go and the things I could do…

Okay, so I want to
blamethank you for helping contribute to the bug I seem to have caught – KNITTING! No, seriously, I’m LOVIN’ it! I want to knit all of the time! And articles like this (knitting mentioned near the bottom) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6038622/site/newsweek/ are probably spot-on with why I yearn to click my needles so much. Seriously, thanks Christine- and knit on!I’m going to MDSW, along with everyone else. And my spinning wheel is shipping tomorrow! Whee! I’m insanely excitied about both the wheel and MDSW. It’s going to be so fun. You should totally come!
“along with everyone else”
Everyone BUT me, that is. *sniff*
Need a roommate in Maryland, Natalie? 😉
If I were staying in a hotel, sure. I don’t live very far from the festival, so it’s just going to be a day trip for me. 🙂
I think NOW is a good time to start planning for the 2006 MS&W Festival.
BTW – I think you have me sold on the Cherry Tree Hill lace yarn you were using. I’m dying to try it now!
Coincidentally, I’m going to the MSWF — on a bus trip with my LYS. So…I offer up to you my guest room and you can take the bus with me. I’m just saying.
Dude, go to Rhinebeck in NY (in October); smaller, more knitting-focused, and that part of upstate NY is thick with yarn shops. That’s my plan – MS&W sounds fun, but it’s huge(!) A girl can only buy so much yarn, you know? Wait, why are you laughing?
Mac, you know … that is very tempting. I think I’m going to have to talk with Mike about this some more tonight! 😀
It would be faboo if you could come–I think I’m still meeting up with Mac at some point during the day (are we still meeting up, Mac?).
Oooh, I so wish I had time. I’d go to Maryland with you. 🙂
hello
eiffel tower is still there!

I live in Baltimore if you need a place to stay. Just give me a yell.
It would be cool if you went, Christine…I’m just a hop-skip-jump down the road from MD. 🙂 I wasn’t planning on going, but I may if Mac is going…just to meet her! *LOL* 😀
Accidentally found your site and it was quite intrigued by it. Very nice concept. I’m about to set up a blog and am having a hard time deciding which software to use.
Just curious on how you decided which way to go.
I’m not very good at knitting but am thinking of doing some crochet again. My Mum is the most amazing knitter. She makes up designs in her head and knits them without even writing them down. I used to be very keen on cross stitch, but eyes and hands aren’t up to it these days. I like your blog by the way.
