Bishop Hill Fiber Guild's Spin In

Last Saturday found me up and out the door early.  I managed to hit the road early enough to stop and grab coffee and a pastry at Innkeepers Coffee in Galesburg.  I was on my way to the Bishop Hill Fiber Guild's Annual Spin In which was being held for the first time in East Peoria, IL. 

Despite the fact that part of the building wasn't heated, we had a lovely day.  I met up with some knitting friends for some shopping, classes, and time to sit and knit.  When I first arrived, I dropped off my entries for the Viewer's Choice Awards, where attendees vote for their favorite fiber items.  I'm happy to report 2 ribbons!  The Shaelyn shawl took third in the Shawls Category and the Adeline Blanket took home First in the Blankets/Throws/Afghans (although to be fair, I think I was the only entrant in that one?).

I hope to have a finished pair of socks to share later this week.  Stay tuned!
