What's happening around here....

Sunday my B/N (bookstore) knitting friends and I went to the local Heritage Festival. It was at our botanical gardens and turned out to be a lovely afternoon. We had a bunch of us spinning, knitting, crocheting, and looming. Of course, I didn't get out of my seat much, so not too many pictures of the neat old-timey crafting going on.


Looming...or do you call it loom knitting?


Isn't this truck neat!! Behind it is a tobacco barn. I've lived down here 20 yrs (yikes!) and have never seen one close up until this day. They look interesting, but the smoke about sent me into an asthma attack.

This is Momma

She's 82 yrs old and always knitting or crocheting. She teaches it as well. She can keep up with us youngsters too.

This is her daughter spinning.


Here's my momma Megan! (inside joke on the momma ;) She helped me immensely in my drafting "triangle". Yeah, I wasn't doing too good and got me straight


Mucho better...
