Maryland Sheep & Wool - Part II
Well, it's a little longer than I intended, but here goes:
We got up bright and early Saturday morning, hit Starbucks on the way, and headed to the festival. We arrived at about 8:10 (gates opened at 9) but discovered that they were already letting people in and there were lots of cars.
It didn't take me long to make my very first yarn purchase!
The other person in the picture is the one who dyed and named my new yarn!
After we got through what we thought were all of the buildings we got some funnel cake and sat down in the shade of a barn to knit.
At this point it was 11am and we were already almost yarned out. Rachel met up with us a little later, but headed off on her own to go through the parts of the festival we had done already.
But after a little break and going to meet some Knittyheads we discovered we had missed the main building! Of course we had to stop there too, and buy a little more yarn. Then it was time for the blogger meetup, where I got to meet Adelle my SSS pal, along with many other great bloggers.
Soon after we met Rachel again and headed back to Amanda's house just missing the rain! When we got home we lined up the yarn - the blue part is mine:
We did a little bit of celebrating Cinco de Mayo...
complete with socks!
And then tucked in for an early night preparing for the very long drive the next day.
THE END
But, as for news since I came back, look at the awesome package I got for winning the Loopy Ewe blog contest!
Perchance to Knit - awesome! Thanks Sheri!
And stay tuned... this weekend I head to New Hampshire Sheep & Wool. :)
