Clean is the wool I have finally finished washing.
I ended up with two bags full.
The cat is Angel.
Ever ready to try to annoy me. She didn't quite succeed here. No cat hair on my blocked Christening gown skirt but she didn't last too long as the ends of my blocking pins were poking her in the rump.
The Port Alberni Crafters' Market started it's 2012 season today.
Look to the right.
Look to the left.
My booth. These pictures were taken 15 minutes after we opened for business. It was wet. It was cold and there weren't very many customers. I sold three dishcloths but I had a lovely relaxing time spinning and chatting with those who showed any interest in my wares.

Neat. I wish I could add photos. "It" won't permit me.
Love Angel doing her thing. Nice pix and here's hoping for better weather. My late cat, Scratchy (White, yellow eyes) used to lie on my work space and I would write checks raising her stomach just enough to do the task.
I'm sure the weather will improve. Part of the fun of an outdoor market is the people one meets.
Love the pattern of your christening gown — and Angel! Hang in there — the people will be coming!
This wet weather can sure put a damper on things, but the good news the sun will be back on Friday with a sunny week-end coming up.Nice to see D.H in the picture, even Angel didn't take advantage and lay on your beautiful knitting.Good luck next week-end, hope the customers are back in droves.
Glad to see that you are back at the market. Too bad the nice weather couldn't have stayed one more day, but there will be nicer days ahead and then more customs as well.
Angel's catly duty is to seek out the place you least want her to nap. I have a cat theme in the guest bath and just found a lovely picture of a siamese perched on a ledge at a garage sale. It is art deco and in perfect condition.
How lovely! First day of the season, I'm sure attendance will pick up. People really like those knitted dish cloths - the ones I've given them to just rave about them, so you'll probably get some repeat customers. Hugs to Angel - she looks irritated: probably didn't think she wanted that spot until it was taken, but now she does.
Very quiet fair. How long would it take for me to drive over?
Just something not right about pics of a fair with no people.
