| Sheep! And Wool! And Wool! And Sheep! |
| Sunday, May 06, 2007 |
Maryland Sheep and Wool 2007 rocked! No migraine and no sunburn this year! (Alas, no lamburger, which was sad.)
There were sheep.
Rams(?)
Even the sheep think they're tastey!
Goats!
The Haul:
Spinning Flock Farm (Woodbine, MD)
50/50 Merino/Tussah Silk in Charcoal and Pale Lavender for Deep V Argyle Vest
The Flock Bransonas
75/25 Wool/nylon sock yarn in "Rhapsody"
More Flock Bransonas Sock
"Esmerelda"
The Mannings
Koigu, #305
More Mannings
Koigu, # 1008
While at the Mannings booth there was a woman standing next to me, and someone went pushing behind us, and pushed the woman into the big wall of koigu. She made a "hrmph" noise and glared at the pusher (because really, it's MDS&W, there's no call for shoving!) and I said "Well, there are worse things to be shoved into, I suppose." The woman stepped back, and realized she'd been pushed into a big wall of koigu and agreed it could be worse.
I got a little light headed at the Mannings
"Gossamer Webs" - History and Construction of Orenburg Lace
Carodan Farm, Stanardsville, VA
Opal Rainforest Collection in Fish & Flamingo
Shelridge Farms, Durham, Canada
6 balls of W4 in silver. Incidentally, all of my friends got some too, after I raved about it so much.
Tess' Designer Yarns
Super Sock? Pewter perhaps? Mine didn't have a label. |

You could almost think my screen was adjusted with too much blue...but now, that's just a lot of blues, purples, and greys that you bought! Yay! Sheep and Wool! Good luck on finals!

Great haul! You outdid us! :) I am looking forward to the vest with that yarn. I fell in love with their yarn last year. :) Good luck with your finals!

Thanks for the awesome pictures! I really like that Tussah silk/merino blend and (of course) the Tess designer yarn!

Wow! What a great haul you have -- lots of sock knitting in your future? I'm having a lot of fun thinking of designs and yarn for the next pair of socks I'll be knitting and these socks are for YOU!
