The war will begin soon. I've changed my mind several times on which yarn I'm going to use. I don't even know if I can sleep tonight. I can't get started soon enough. I almost feel sorry for the first person I knock out of the event. Maybe they will get a skein of my handspun as a guilt bonus.
All while the sock war is going on, I still need to knit several pairs of socks for other people not in the war, spin and knit a couple of sweaters, finish a couple of sweaters and shawls, and make a couple of blocks for the Post Office Quilt. It is a neat idea. All of 490 and 491 zip codes (southwest Michigan) will be represented. It is going to be raffled off, but I don't know what for. There is going to be a book that the local Post Offices will carry. I get Kalamazoo (they lumped all the zips together) and Hickory Corners. I also found out that they are going to do a second quilt for the Postal Museum in Marshall. I'm in the museum biz, and I didn't know there was a Postal Museum in Marshall. There is a really cool Magic Museum in Marshall.
Speaking of Museum's, this week's event is the Otsego Creative Arts Festival. I'll be there spinning, weather permitting, down by the Otsego Historical Museum or the antique tractors. Right now it doesn't look like the weather is going to co-operate. That's okay if I can't go. It will give me more time to get ready for Cider Time at Historic Bowens Mills over the next four weeks. More on that later after the first victim of Sock Wars.

I'd love to hear more about what a "Sock War" is. I'm a novice knitter. I have only finished rectangular things, but I aspire to complete a whole sweater.
I hope that digital camera fairy shows up to your house pretty soon. I'd love to see pictures of your sheep.
I found the link. It sounds like a lot of fun for someone who can turn a heel!
