Packing My Knitting Bag For Fibre Week

6/18/2014

I am heading off to Olds College on Saturday for my favourite time of the year; Fibre Week.  This trip in the past has been filled with classes, wool shows, shopping, relaxing, knitting and spinning.  I get to surround myself with everything I love most and spend the week in a dream state.  I am on partial business this year as I have been hired a Wool Judge for the Custom Woolen Mills fleece show and sale.  I have been wanting to do this since I took the wool judging course at Olds in my first year there.  Since that time I have judged fleeces in all 3 prairie provinces.  I am very proud of myself for that.  I have always been an advocate for education and each fleece is a new learning experience.  There is a lot to learn with wool and thats one of the many reasons I love it so much.  

In my Tom Bihn Swift I am bringing (from left to right):
- Ball Winder for plying
- Crochet shawl WIP (almost finished)
- Skein of Falkland handspun for a new shawl
- Knitting shawl WIP (almost finished)
- Interchangeable needles
- Notions pouch
- Niddy noddy
- 5 braids of fibre - hoping to spin one skein a day on my wheel (Corriedale, Romney, Merino/Cashmere/Nylon, BFL/Nylon, Shetland
- Spindle WIP - spinning 3 cops on my Malcolm Fielding Interchangeable spindle, to 3 ply and make sock yarn.  Fibre is an alpaca/merino/nylon blend from Twisted Sisters (bought at Olds) This is the second cop almost finished.  
- Bare spindle for the spin-in - Tabachek Mini
- Bare supported spindle Miss Lucy Tibetan

- Kromski Travel Wheel (not pictured)





Am I forgetting anything?



What do you always take with you on trips?

Yeah, so I would probably have your whole car full with stuff to take, I'm not sure I could pack that light....lol I tend to over pack.

Are you taking any knitting?

hehe I know there is a lot more I could take but I need to leave room for my travel partners :) I have a shawl I am working on and I am bringing a skein of handspun to start another shawl while I am there. I am also bringing my salad spinner, added after the fact
