Mayday

I fought the sock machine yesterday with some Red Heart American yarn. The machine won, I think, and I have resolved never to bother making socks again. I still like making the handwarmers, they sell well at the museum, and I will still try to find new designs for tubes but turning heels and toes - no! Tomorrow I am spinning at Calke Abbey. Weather, as usual for this event, is cold and windy. Think it will be the last year I turn out for it. The Shetland fleece I bought is having to be picked over, taking more hours than I am prepared to spend. Lots of cuchion stuffing there, very little decent wool. Forecast for France from 19th May at least looked dry and warm, if not toally sunny.
