Truly Ken, that is no reason to hold off. My wife just returned from 
a weekend at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival. Apparently if you 
have inclination and time enough to spin and knit this one is a 
pretty big deal. She came home with quite a bit of fiber that won't 
see the wheel or needles for many, many moons. And this from the 
sensible/responsible one of our household. But who am I to complain 
if such a weekend buys my addictions a little leniency?
