Guess where I will be this weekend? This event has grown wonderfully in the last few years. I can't wait to see and touch (and purchase) beautiful yarns and meet those who create them. I am going to break down and buy some wooden/bamboo needles. I hear great things from other knitters about them. I need some yummie Alpaca yarn. I see a new cowl/scarf and a special cardigan in my future!

I have been hand-stitching a new quilt, I call my Sleepy Hollow Cuddler. In Tim Burns "Sleepy Hollow," Ichabod Crane uses one in this pattern, more or less, in his little attic-nook bed. My colors are red, white and blue. I can't find a photo of his, but I will post current progress on mine. One more apron in the pipe-line today.
