Scenic Stitches and Sock Knitting

It’s Fiber Festival season and time for our first show of 2025. I have also completed the first half of a new pair of hand knit socks.

Scenic Stitches Fiber Festival

I am off to Chattanooga, TN tomorrow for the brand new Scenic Stitches Fiber Festival. I am excited, that there is another show in my home state.

I am making the drive and setting up the booth on Friday. My booth numbers are 61-62 which is in the middle and towards the front of the hall ( I think) . The market is open on Saturday Feb. 1 from 9-6, and Sunday Feb. 2 from 9-5. There are lots of things going on besides the vendor market too. Please to a moment to check out the website for more details.

I have also updated my Event Calendar on the website. I have at least 20 festivals booked for 2025. Oh and by the way, can you believe this is our 20th anniversary year? Crazy!

Sock Knitting

As I stated above, I have finished knitting the first of my 2×2 rib socks made from the sock blank. I love the way the colors played out. I took some basic notes to remind me of details for the second sock. I will probably get the second one cast on for occasional breaks from my other main project, the vest.

I am going to get back to work on that this weekend. It should make good booth knitting. I may be too busy but I usually like to have something with me for slower lulls. It is also great for sharing what I am working on at the moment with other knitters. You know how that is.

Birthday

My birthday was on Sunday. It was a nice quiet day at home, which is just what I like most of the time. I made a carrot cake and spent some time reading and knitting. I also did a bit of book shopping the weekend before for my birthday gifts.
