Still alive! I need to work on posting on a regular basis.
In good news, I went to the Fiber Frolic down in Windsor. It was fun if hot and sunny. I managed to get a small sun burn along with my fiber. Mom was wonderful and drove down with me and carried all my fiber, she bought some stuff as well(actually I paid for it because she left her purse in the car). There were llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats, and bunnies there with all of the fibers for sale.
The vendors that were there had awesome stuff, and the makers of Merlin were there(the wheel not the tv show).
I bought fiber, from quite a few vendors. I now have fiber in colors called: Thor's Hammer, Downeast, Galaxy and the like. Though my favorite fiber was the yak and silk blend that I bought(Mom bought it for me actually but I paid).
All in all it was a very successful shopping trip.
In other news I signed up for the Tour de Fleece, hence the fiber buying. I am knitting my self a cowl that is hooded, Thorin's Hooded Cowl, so far I am still working on the cowl part.
Trying something, I am dyeing yarn with Kool aid, it is coming out greener then I wanted but is still a good color. I think I might over-dye it at a later date.
The dogs are enjoying the nice weather and so is Estel as now that the dogs spend time outside she gets the run of the house.
The flowers are doing well, as are the garden though the vegetable gardens are all fenced in to keep the dogs from eating everything again.
In other stuff: SPOILERS
