Berry Patch Farm

I never knew there was a blueberry picking place in Iowa! Looks like they also have quite a few other fruits including apples and maybe some upcoming fall events. Something to keep an eye on. Berry Patch Farm

Twist Fall 2009

The latest issue of Twist Collective has hit the WWW. I found a couple patterns I love but what caught me this time were the articles. In particular, two articles about a green sweater knit by Elizabeth Zimmermann. They're fascinating and heartwarming. Please go read and enjoy.

Sock Summit

So knitters, you've surely heard of Sock Summit that is about to take place in Portland, Oregon. I'm SO geeked that this is even happening. It's a monumental knitting event... in my book it totally kicks any other fiber festivals butt because it's all socks all the time, my favorite thing to knit. I wanted to go badly but lets face it -- it's a dream trip! Plus, its the same weekend as my son's 10th birthday and a huge family reunion that we're going to in Colorado.

Next year? WOW! I'd love to go! I hope they have one again! It'd be such a dream vacation! Anyone want to room with me???

So I can be green with sock envy about missing Sock Summit but at least there is blogland to keep us filled in, right?

Also -- I'm going to the New York Sheep and Wool festival in a couple of months, so that helps. WHEE! I am not going to buy yarn. Well, maybe a little, but truth be told I haven't bought any yarn in quite a while (at least for me). I'm trying very hard not to build up my stash again and knit with what I have. It's another major knitting event I've followed closely in blogland. I just want to go experience the festival while I can. Just once.

Oh! Such Fibery Goodness!
