Fashion show
I don't live in TO or the big apple. Or even Vancouver.
I am the typical rural gal. Straw grows out of my head. My nails are full of dirt (not really but I am trying to make a point). I am rural. I am proud to be rural. As the old song goes (my personal anthem) "I couldn't be a city slicker even if I tried!" I have belted this out at the top of my lungs. You shouldn't fight who you are. Though at a sweet young age I did try.
Yet I can't help myself I do love somethings urban.
I do enjoy the interlocking maze of streets and buildings. Seen from a distance they intrigue me. Making it abundently obvious to all who view me that it is not my native vista.
I also enjoy fashion shows.
And so it is with great joy that I prepare to participate in two fashion shows this year.
One--the Victoria Fibrefest & Knit out (http://www.communityknitters.com/knitout/) --will take place on June 8th. For this fashion show I am planning something special. I am thoroughly enjoying knitting it from Bamboo. It will appear without a name and hopefully at the end of the week-end will receive one.
The second--the Salt Spring Island Fibre Festival (http://www.fibrefestival.com/) --will take place on July 21st. I am planning a toure de force for dear Mayne Island. I will stand as a knitwear designer showcasing, in her designs, the beautiful yarns of Mayne Island producers.

These are my plans. Stay tuned to see if this hayseed pulls them off.
