There are two things that happen in June: Bead & Button, and Camp Loopy. I did sign up for Camp Loopy but I haven't started my June project yet. I'm not going to put any pressure on myself, if I do it, I do it, if I don't, I don't. I just got back from Bead & Button yesterday, after driving for two days (from Milwaukee WI to King George VA). I'll go back to work tomorrow. This looks to be our last Bead & Button show. I go there to work for my sister, who is the co-owner of Beadcats. The show has declined a lot since I started working for them in 2001. That was the only year that I was able to fly to the show. Starting in 2002 I drove, bring all of the booth infrastructure and they flew, shipping the stock.
I actually started this shrug in May after finishing up the center panel for the Blueberry Fields Shrug. I took this, along with both of my other in progress shrugs (ECOLO and Blueberry Fields) along with me. I finished up the center panel while working in the booth - business was that slow.
These small projects fit perfectly in my small project bag, that Carol Perrenoud, the other half of Beadcats, made.
I wore it on my wrist and could knit while working in the booth.
Pattern: Traveling Zebra Shrug by Carolyn Blakelock
