Wool Waulking at the Minnesota Scottish Fair
On Saturday we were part of colgaffneyis contingent at the Minnesota Scottish Fair and Highland Games. mia_mcdavid had just woven a 15 yard length of tartan, a custom commission for our friend AC. Here is Mia, wrapped up in her work.

Computer Necromancer

Great four day weekend!
I had planned to take Friday and Monday off to accomodate colgaffneyis show in Aberdeen, South Dakota. That was cancelled, to my profound relief. However, I took the vacation days anyway. It was great.
I got two extra days to sleep in. I had a lot of time for woodworking and brewing (see previous posts). There was good drinking and eating: Belgian beer Friday evening, the St. Paul farmers’ market Saturday, and an Indian lunch today. We did see some of our colgaffneyis friends at Merlin’s Rest, the group’s monthly “Night at the Pub” later Friday night. On Sunday mia_mcdavid and I had a good time at church and did useful work there, followed by a pleasant outing with our son Tom. Irish class Monday night was interesting and inspiring.
Best of all, this was a lot of time spent with just mia_mcdavid.

More fiber display stands
I finished two more fiber display stands, similar to these.
for mia_mcdavid to use in her business. Like the first pair, they can be taken apart for transport and quickly rebuilt on site. She will need them for her trip next week.
