It isn't as though I don't have a rather extensive WIP (work in progress) knitting queue mounded on the end of my sofa already and in several baskets besides. I wonder how many socks I have on the go? Six? Eight? More? Shawls? Only 5, not to worry. Nor am I lax in terms of spinning queue--I'm currently working on a dark lama/mohair blend for a sweater which I've begun to knit; laceweight mohair for shawl(s); qiviut laceweight for a scarf or small shawl; sock yarn; and Gotland for my first gansey.
Okay I see the problem. I need several more lives and need to be able to live them concurrently. What? that's not possible? Why-ever not? Somebody should get on that--and hurry will you.
Just because I stopped weaving (oh, so many years ago) doesn't mean I've in anyway lost my passion for fibre. And weaving, you're on my list for when I, umm, retire.
I can't possibly wear, or use all of this stuff I'm making myself so being on my friends list may prove quite beneficial. You can start a wish list in the comments, but I can't promise anything by a specific date--I'm much too fickle a spinner and knitter for any such thing. You've figured that out by now I suppose?

I am exhausted just reading your blog - how I wish I could keep up with your pace of projects!
I have been thinking of you and wondering what you are up to.
I spend my 12 hours days on the wharf and then flop on the sofa with a glass of wine (or several!); I crash into bed, only to get up in the morning to start all over again. I am not enjoying selling tickets as much as in previous years - I think perhaps that role has run its course.
John and I have erected a 10' x 18' tent on our friend's property across the street and are holding bi-weekly gatherings on Monday evenings. I have also built a 7-circuit labyrinth laid out with wood shavings to define the path.
It's a shame you can't store the heat from the summer to fuel the winter! We bought a rechargeable battery with solar panel to use up in the tent - a small step to sustainability.
Take care, knit well; see you soon I hope, Helen
