Fiber Fun

Last week my daughter and granddaughter (hereafter referred to as Miss 6) went with me to the Michigan Fiber Festival.  My daughter knits and has tried dyeing yarn. We are slowly indoctrinating Miss 6 into the fiber lifestyle!  We had a great time.

We said hello to some alpacas...

And the softest, fuzziest bunnies.  It was hard to tell some of them were even bunnies....they just looked like big balls of fluff!

We saw a happy sheep (doesn't he look happy to you?)...

And a lot of hungry goats.

After we saw all the animals we had a stroll around the displays.

Of course there were spinners and weavers.  Miss 6 was fascinated by them, as was my daughter.  She bought a drop spindle to attempt to learn how to spin.  She's still working on it.

There were mini-workshops and kids activities.
Here is Miss 6 working on felted soap.

And of course there was lots and lots of yarn.  It was all very tempting for a couple of yarn addicts on budgets.

I stuck to the budget and only purchased 1 (700+ yards) skein of sport weight yarn in this beautiful golden color.  I think it wants to be a shawl.
And I just couldn't resist this cute little lamb.

It was a lovely day spent with two of my favorite people.

Today it is rainy and I can tell that autumn is not too far around the corner.  I'm not quite ready to let summer go...but soon, very soon.

Hope you are enjoying a lovely, still summery day.

Til next time,
Peace
