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.
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
Looks like a fun time! I love the gold color of the yarn you bought. It would make a beautiful shawl. Go for it!
ReplyDeleteawww if she can spin, perhaps i can! I love the pictures of the whole day
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun-filled day. I love fiber festivals but it is oh so hard to not give in to temptation and buy everything in sight! :-). Love your little sheep and yarn.

I so admire the spinning. One of my knitting group does it, and dyes as well. For now I need to stick to the "learning more than one stitch" level of knitting!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very fun day!
ReplyDeleteWell you are definitely getting ready for the fall season with yarn purchases. Looks like a fun event for three generations.
ReplyDeleteI was playing soccer with my grandson and he told me I was so cool because most grandmas just knit socks. I knit too, though.
Lovely colour yarn you bought! Looks like a great time!! xx
ReplyDeletethat yarn is a gorgeous colour. Looks like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfect day to me. So glad you had fun.
