Fall is in The Air

I can't believe how quickly summer has passed and I still haven't finished everything that I wanted to do. Gil is still busy renovating the downstairs and today I have to clean and reorganize my wool room. I have been spinning up some lovely rovings for sale at the Waterloo County Knitter's Fair September 13th and will be dyeing up some combed top as well. Fencing needs to be done and my inlaws will be arriving for a visit in three weeks. While out yesterday I came upon this nifty and useful device at the local antique shop. It is a skein winder with a yarn meter attatchment, so I will know how long my handspun skeins are. I was looking everywhere at the Michigan Fibre Fest for something similar and wasn't able to find one. I guess good things happen to those who wait.
