I realized that it was simply insane to think I could knit something in a week to wear to MDSW. So crazy, that instead I decided to order two t-shirts from the Pointy Sticks Spreadshirt shop – a “I could go bat-shit crazy, or I could knit. Your choice.” t-shirt and a “Life is too short to knit with ugly yarn.” t-shirt. I’m thinking the first one will be appropriate for the day of my flight in case they try to take my knitting needles away!

I figured that this would be a better option, since the weather can be either hot or cold. This way, I’m comfy if it is hot, and I can toss on a sweater, shawl, scarf or whatever if it is cold.

Feel free to snag a t-shirt too, then we can all wear them and find each other!

In just over a week I’ll be flying east to go to Maryland Sheep & Wool with Mac and Adelle. Off to the land of fibery goodness. And as I plan my trip, I end up feeling the same way I always do before I go anywhere with knitters…

What should I make to wear?

Of course, this is somewhat unreasonable, as I have about a week to make something. The only time during the week that I will have anything that resembles free time is my flight to Philly. Knitting something this fast? Probably not too likely. But maybe you know something I don’t know? Maybe there is some speedy knit out there, the “must have” thing of the spring? You know, like Fetchings were this past winter? I cranked them out fast. Surely there must be something out there? Ideas, anyone?

Would it possibly be cool enough that I could get away with wearing a sweater? I could finish the sleeves for my green Four Play (mmmm… Brooks Farm) sweater and wear that. I could do two sleeves in a week, I think. Hm… I’m definitely going to be wearing one of the t-shirts I designed, so there will be knitting related wear if nothing else. (I’m going to design another one – “Life’s too short to knit with ugly yarn.” Teehee!)

OH! If you’re going – Blogger lunch meetup at 1pm on Saturday and Sunday! Thanks to Chris for tipping me off to that!
