Ready To Rumble!

  The WWE has nothing on us!
We are ready to go loom to loom with the spinners and weavers from Clinch River Yarns!

Well........not really ready.....that's why I'm weaving like a fiend to empty this Pup.  I no longer have the luxury of weaving a little here and there....this warp has to GO!  I need to do a little practice weaving with wool!

  You see....we are participating in a fleece to scarf contest at the Anderson County Fair in July.  Each team will have one weaver and two spinners.  Tina and Linda will back me up on their spinning wheels.  Sandy (Clinch River Yarns) and I worked out some of the rules today....this is going to be FUN!

  The warp is ready on the Rocker Beater loom at the Museum of Appalachia.  We had two summer camp groups on Wednesday AND a production crew!!! 
  Tina and I knew that a crew would be filming at the Museum, but, I just thought they would film us as background material.  Oh, no!!!  They wanted to interview us!!!  (I almost laughed at them when they told me to "Go ahead."  "Just do your regular speech."  I don't have a canned speech!!!!!!)  So, I just talked to them about the loom and weaving, and put the interviewer to work on the loom. 
  You can check out their website at:  The Southern Weekend

Never a dull moment.............
 
Happy Weaving!  (no trash talk, yet!!!)

How exciting. Those sheep to scarf/shawl contests are always fun. Black Sheep Gathering has one or at least they use to. Off to watch Southern Weekend with LouAnn!

I really like how that warp at the Museum is weaving up! I also have some intereting warp ideas percolating. I'll bring some fiber on Tuesday, we can't let Marie or Karin see it though!
