loads of stuff







This is just a crazy time of year for me, with tons of stuff happening.






Girl scouts is very busy and getting busier all the time. I have a facilitator course booked for me to do on october 25th for 6 hours. I have the 2 troops which it feels will never be organised. And now Dawn and I have the chance to run 2 7 week programs for the journeys very busy time. I do love it though.






As for knitting I have nealr finished a pair of gloves I had bought the yarn for at the farm 2 weeks ago and i am very pleased with how they are turning out. I still have not yet finished the toe up sock blank socks though I must try and do that this week. I have to get around to taing picture for them so i can show my partner how great the colors worked. maybe later today.



I am hoping today that my knitpicks order will come in and i can get a start on FIL's christmas gift a pair of felted slipper clogs very cute and manly of course.






Spinning is going better than i could have hoped . I went to the soar market last week and bought some beautiful roving i could not wait to spin. so i went ahead and spun it wow wow owow it spun like butter and i plied it this morning and i love it. pics to follow.
