Chickenlips Knitting

Wow, I haven't written anything on here since April 2nd! There just hasn't been anything blog-worthy going on; I've simply been doing the necessary things to keep this juggernaut Stitchjones moving forward. We are on for Black Sheep Gathering in June, where we will have a nice big indoor booth, and the Scio Lamb & Wool Fair in mid-May. I'm terribly excited about these events and hope to have enough product dyed to fill my booth. Selling out prematurely wouldn't be the worst thing, I know--but I always prefer "too much" to "not enough". I also have two sock clubs to dye for, and an appointment to meet the owner of a new yarn store in Salem (opening soon). So I'm popping my head up for a quick "Hallo" and then I'll probably be more on Facebook than here.

And now for an interesting segue: you know I love the Yarn Harlot to bits, right? Last week she posted from base HQ of Sock Camp with pics of the most adorable baby bootees evar. The cuteness of the tiny shoesies reduced her and Tina to baby-talking puddles of goo. Well, it did inspire me to knit something cute too, so I set aside my adult size projects temporarily. I am not a baby sock or bootee knitter, so I made the baby leggings from Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac.
