I love the smell of a ren fest: all dirt and air and sweat and smoke and wood. I went aone this year, but I still had a good time doing so. I made a pair of socks for Trese McKay of rhagdolls (see June 2007). I think that she liked the socks; they were soft and cozy in a lovely green-Huron colorway by Lorna's Laces. I still have some left over: I'm making an mp3 player holder for myself.
Here is a pic of Trese with her new socks and my new doll. She makes these wonderful dolls by hand and gives them such charming names and personalities.
I'm in the process of knitting my first big lace project: swallowtail shawl from a booklet from Knitting Daily. I already about halfway done with it. I'm using Be Sweet yarn-it has just a slight boucle, and the color is a lovely denim.
I finished some lacey gloves for me; a copy of those I made for my sister. Made with Louet sock yarn.
