2008 already?

I just stopped by my blog that was set up for 23 Things....how did it get to be 2008 already? I realized I hadn't blogged for many months. Reading some dedicated bloggers on Bloglines, I am amazed at how much output those folks have! Where do they find the time??? I can hardly keep up with the two dozen feeds I have subscribed to much less maintain an active blog. Oh, well. I have been busy knitting socks. Actually I ran out of new sock yarn for the next pair so I started making a sock from the leftovers...of the 30 or so pairs I've made in the last few years. Think I will make one sock of each combination which should mean I can knit socks for the next decade and not have a single matching pair! Wonder if anyone will ever notice? Probably my spinning guild friends who often wear hand-knit socks to spin...without shoes of course so all can admire! Had an interesting experience recently judging the Sheep-to-Shawl competition at the PA. Farm Show. The competition was stiff as there were four beautiful shawls. It's funny but the judges don't have a clue who wins until the announcements are made! The one I really liked came in second and the one that placed fifth I had fourth. The winning shawl I had placed third and the third place I had in second. Oh well, there are other factors involved and I understand the bonus points were what made the difference. Anyway, it was a great experience and I hope to do it again.
