Heading for the Fall

Beautiful fall day here today, perfect weather for a round of mini golf and a harrowing half hour lost in a man made maze with an intrepid 8 year old. I felt like I was in the last scenes of The Shining.
I cast on this lovely chapeau with the Quince Chickadee I bought earlier in the month. This yarn has a great hand, all boing and spring. And it even has sass! At $5.40 a skein it’s also a steal.
While I find it hard to believe the summer is over blah blah blah, I am intensely happy that Sheep and Wool Festival season is right around the corner. I decided I am going to give most of my current stash away to my daughter’s yarn club and buy all new.
I like the yarn – what a great color – perfect for the season!
Great idea for the stash – nothing like starting over fresh ;-). Are you going to the NJ Sheep & Wool?
Wow, that’s an interesting idea… I have such *feelings* about my stash! Some good, some good turned sour.
What a freeing idea – to give away most of your stash! I have been feeling oppressed by mine (since I discovered the substash in my closet that I had conveniently forgotten about) but am not sure if I am ready to take that step…
