My finished object! Mae by Andrea Mowry My current projects… Dotted Rays by Stephen West, Christmas Stockings, and the fresh-on-the-needles Ingot by Lisa Mutch. My spinning…. Gradient braid by River’s Edge Fiber Arts and the first half of that corriedale. Future knitting… a top-down V-neck raglan out of some aaaaaaancient stash - Arucania Pehuen (ok, or maybe a Yrsa - I thought it was a V-neck) My new non-knitting goal: minimize 1 thing a day.

I wasn't in Edinburgh, but I was in Brevard and visited the Sun Dragon Arts and Fiber and the Knitting Diva (going out of business sorry!) and managed to find a haul that would rival that of an Edinburgh Yarn Fest attendee!
