Went to Wool Gathering on the first day, September 19, and had a great time.
Left to right each row, starting at top left, here's what I got:
ball of dyed Romney roving to spin
2 skeins of Calypso sock yarn from Creatively Dyed
Covers for my hand cards
Ashford “student” top-whorl drop spindle
messenger bag with sheep on front
long-sleeve WG tee
ball of alpaca/wool roving to spin
2 small top-whorl drop spindles
Zauerball sock yarn
2 packets green firestar to blend with
3 more packets firestar
pound of white Merino
Wild Fibers magazine
I realize it’s sacrilege but didn’t get any ice cream .
The booth I had the most trouble with, deciding what to get, was Creatively Dyed. Dianne is the most amazing colorist! The rainbow of colors in her booth and yarn is beautiful beyond imagination, and her talent is beyond compare. The colors finally decided on were in her Calypso line: Paulo, and her best-seller My Boy Blue. Husband helped me choose; said I'd been using a lot of "Fall" colors and should getting something bright. My only regret is not having gotten more. All Creatively Dyed yarn is truly amazing, but I keep going back to Calypso -- I hope she never stops making it. :-)
Licky you! I wish I could have gone this year.! I didn't go to any fiber fests this year.
