I am tempted to try getting a table at the next craft fair too in a month, if I can manage to knit enough stuff by then.

    And now to bed....it's been a long week-end.
    Do you have a trainer? Someone on the ALC discussion board reports he's got permission to set up a trainer at the local farm market. That way you could train, fund raise and even knit at the same time

    Thank you, Tiger!!!

    Want me to send you a pair of socks? I'm still knitting more stuff getting ready for the Christmas Market and I've been invited to put some knitwear into the local artists' christmas show. If you would like a pair of socks, or mittens, or a hat, or anything else, just let me know what size and colour...

    online garage sale? where? do you have a URL? I make some cool patchwork shopping bags I could list there and maybe make some extra $$ for my ALC donations fund ...
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
