Part A: Are you doing any holiday knitting?
Just one thing. I’m trying to finish that silly Cobblestone which DH should have gotten last Christmas.
Part B: Have you finished?
ROFLMAO!! ARE you kidding? I’ve got about 5 inches (I think) left of the yoke, and those purl rows are driving me nuts! Why do you think it’s still not finished?? Ok, that’s not the reason. I’ve no idea what the reason is; after carding and spinning the yarn for it, you’d think I’d be in a hurry to get it off the needles so something else could go on!
No, seriously, it’ll be done. Even before Christmas.
Thankfully, Christmas is next Thursday. That gives me almost a week, right?

LOL I’m pulling for ya!
A Fiber Advocate — An astounding idea! A “Will” would help if you had anyone you knew you wanted it to go to…my hand is up…how about meeee? I’m laughing, you don’t even know me. And I don’t meet the criteria of anyone who knows what they are doing in spinning – at least not yet.
Include a list of internet ‘places’ in the will, where a likely location to give or sell them might be. The administrator of your will gets to take care of it for you in just the way you describe in the Will and becomes your Fiber Advocate.
Perhaps Ravelry is the place for this to happen…or there is supposed to be a new Spinning Network/Community [similar to Ravelry] launching in the new year sometime…so we can certainly keep track of our Fiber/Fleece stash there.
The Lists [and perhaps Ravelry] are ways we get to know people, to a degree anyway. And in just the way YOU need to know them, in their regard for the fiber you wish to gift. Pick someone you like from one of them to do this for you, ask them then name them in the Will….? Just a suggestion…it’s interesting to contemplate.
I think about it fairly often, as being in FL over the winter I’m surrounded by people who are quite elderly and who do, after all, pass away from time to time. The stash disbursement envy can get a bit macabre…but we have to laugh. Laughter is a gift!
