Memorial Day and Before

Sunday started with an unexpected rain shower here in San Diego.  However, we decided to travel to Santa Ysabel for Funky Spun's fiber event - hoping the weather would clear by noon.  On the way, we took a hike at Santa Ysabel West Open Space Preserve.  By the time we continued on to Funky Spun, the weather was still breezy and cool, but the rain had moved on.

There were llamas and sheep.  As well as some spinners and at least one knitter braving the wind to work outside.  SDFA bought some Columbia from Loraine's sheep and a bag of mixed mohair, angora, and wool.

As expected, Memorial Day was clear and sunny, with a hint of the summer to come.  We attended the Holiday at Home parade in Kensington.  Although there were no fiber-related floats, we still enjoyed the Kensington Hens and Miss Kensington.  

Alice in Wonderland was also there, although this could have been Allen in Wonderland, not sure.  

And of course, what would a parade be without Sumo Wrestlers?

I started my second Latvian mitt on Memorial Day, and made it through the rough parts with minimal damage.
