eunnyjang has added you as a friend!
And this is where I admit how lazy I am. I've entered very few of my projects, only some of my books and none of my stash. But I absolutely love the "friends" features. I can friend anyone I want (there's no obligation to friend back) and then I can see pretty much all of their activities on Ravelry AND (this is the best part) see every time they update their blogs. I'm too lazy to update the blog links in my sidebar or set up feeds (I killed bloglines because the pop-ups drove me nuts). Ravelry is the perfect set-up for a lazy knitter/spinner/blogger/knitting blog reader. Perfect.

How cool is that?
Yeah, I'm a dork. It can sometimes be a little embarrassing. Susan commented on my Ravelry post and Susie and I had a "D'oh, you're famous!" discussion in Ravelry messaging.
Speaking of Susie, she invited Em and I to volunteer at the Northern Michigan Lamb and Wool Festival next weekend. We were already thinking of going since I found out Tracy/Copperpot Woolies was going to be there (I LOVE her fiber!). So Em and I talked.
Then I consulted the husband. Since we skipped Wool Gathering (oooh, I just realized I never mentioned I bought a wheel!!, that expenditure is why we skipped Wool Gathering), would it be alright if we went to NML&WF?
"Are you going to sell your spindles?" he asked.
Uh. Wow. It hadn't even really occured to me. We just really wanted a road trip in my new car to fondle fiber. Does it get any better than that? Oh yes, it does. We could finally meet up with some friends (hey, Leah/Yarn or a Tale is going to be there--I LOVE her fibers too!). And buy some stuff. Not too much stuff, since we did just buy the wheel...but we need something to spin on it. Otherwise, it's just a purty decoration, right?
Well, Peter planted a seed and Wednesday (in a fit of lunacy), I signed on to be a vendor. Even though the vendor registration deadline has long passed. And I didn't have anywhere near enough spindles, etc. to fill a whole table
(it's been ALL spindles, ALL the time
since then).
And I have no idea how to be a seller. I should have a clue, I've been to quite a few fiber festivals (even some back when I had no interest in fiber...can you even imagine a time when I had no interest?!?).
Oh, man, what the hell did I do?

Ooo...love the dotted one! You will sell a ton, I am sure.
Congrats in advance...what an exciting adventure for you. Don't the vendors get to get in a bit early, too? ;)
Hey lady. I think Andrea and I are going to come up to give you support!! I really want to get another spindle, too. I love the "To Knit Perchance to Dream" one. I think Andrea wants her own spindle, she's got the spinning bug, bad! She wants something custom, though, if you can do it. Email me shannondwire@gmail.com and I'll tell you all about it. I'd just email you, but I realized that I don't have the address...LOL
You did the right thing, that's what you did. Your spindles are wonderful, and you'll sell out quickly. :)
YOU ARE AWESOME!
How to sell? Stand there and chat up the crowd. I wish I could go and be your wingwoman. I love to sell stuff!
It will be super fun! Congrats! Have fun!
