Shows and Hanging out

This Sunday a fabulous yarn and fiber show is happening at the Coburg Town Hall , organized by the Handknitters Guild of Victoria. As usual, I think I do not have enough stock and want to dye and spin as much as humanely possible and I think I MAY have outdone that this time.... again, staying up til 4 am in the morning dyeing and spinning , braiding and labelling. And still I think, I won’t have enough I want to do more ! Because, you know, you can never have enough yarn or fibre….Well, that’s my philosophy anyway. 

At one point though you have to say to yourself “okay, stop now because you are running out of time and space to dry the dyed yarns and fibres AND you are in danger of hurting yourself becoming a zombie and falling into the dyepot yourself!” I have one day left which will be spent with finishing up the last minute things, like packaging badges and yarns and braiding. Sometimes you have to say to yourself “this will just have to do”…. BUT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME SAYING IT AND ACT ON IT …lol so you may see a hot fluo pink haired zombie at the show …if I fall over at any point and time, just let me lie in a pile of yarn and fibre ….lol

Some of the yarns and fibres on offer on Sunday:
