This was my first trip to this festival but certainly not my last. I had a wonderful time. The yarn, the people, the sheep, the llamas, the alpacas, music - one of those days that you wish would linger just a little longer....
My daughter was fascinated with lace making and the wonderful women at the tent gave her a little lesson...
The animals were so sweet....
a perfect spot....
we watched the sheep dog trials for a bit...
and then, my favorite part - the shopping :)
I absolutely loved the needle felted gnomes and mushrooms
and yarn, yarn everywhere
My haul for the day was not as huge as I anticipated -only because I still have sooo much in my stash still to knit. I could not resist the Mocha's Fiber Designs in Antique Lavender
and I bought my very first spindle and roving! I am beginning to learn how to spin - more on that in my next post lol.
It was a lovely day :)
Saturday evening we were back at the field for my son's baseball game. Unfortunately, we lost 9-4 but there's always next game :)
My needles have been clicking and I've finished my friend's socks. Great pattern - actually, my favorite go-to pattern for socks - from GlennaC.
and I've cast on for my mom's birthday socks in Madelinetosh Sock...
In shop news...new items have been added, including this lovely blue vase, a trio of hobnail milk glass and the novel Dragonwyck. Be sure to take a peek in the shop :)
One of my favorite shops at Etsy is FiberStory. Her yarns and rovings are absolutely gorgeous! Make sure to visit!
Happy Monday to you all! Have a wonderful week!
