Packing My Knitting Bag For Fibre Week

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
