Plying for day 16.  It really feels like it's taking forever.  I think this might be why I only spin around Tour de Fleece, I get so burned out I don't want to spin for a wile. It would be faster with a wheel but there is a big price difference so it's not something I'm just going to run out and buy.  The shawl is turning out fine and I'm getting near the end.  The thing I have to decide now is how to end it.  I want to do something nice but I'm not sure what.  I kind of want to make a crochet edge but I I'm not sure how much yarn it will use.  I'll keep thinking about it.  I have a few rows before I have to make a decision.

I started watching In a Sknit.  I picked it to be next because the girls are from Illinois and so am I though they are a bit farther south and nearer the Missouri border.  They are kind of new to podcasting and only have a handful of episodes out.  The only "problem" I have with the podcast is that they are Cardinal's fans.  I grew up in Chicago and so I'm a Cubs fan by default (not that I really pay attention to baseball).  It is possible that I may meet them some day if I go to any events in Illinois.  Today the plan is to get caught up on kdrama and spin as much as possible.  .

I would really like to go to the Bishop Hill Fiber Guild Spin-in in October.  It's about an hour and a half from here and I kind of don't want to drive by myself.  I wish I knew someone local that was into fiber that would go with me.  I was thinking of taking my daughter but she says she doesn't want to go.  I know lots of people who are into fiber (on Ravelry) but most of those people live out of state.  I would like to go back to the knit night at the yarn store but my husband has been getting off work later on Fridays.

I think that's it.  I need to go back to Amey and her homework.  It's not hard she is just over thinking it and stressing herself out.  Maybe later the kids and I can do some sewing as well.  I'll see next time.
