maryland sheep and wool

Went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool with Rachyl last Saturday and we had a wonderful time. We did some major fiber shopping, but stayed within our budgets, didn't splurge on new wheels or drum carders, and most notably, didn't buy ANY yarn. Wore Melusine a bit and got many compliments. Wandered the sheep barns and got offers of freshly bagged merino (I swear it was like a drug deal, back in the shadows of the barn). Glad to meet up with some friends, although I missed others (and the Ravelry meetup and the sheep dog demos). By the end of the day, my feet were aching (and I think I bruised the top of my instep) but I was happy.

Note to self: do this again with Rachyl next year.

You guys would have to DRAG ME AWAY from the sheep dog demos. Border Collies working sheep are just stunning to watch.

I may be biased.

Wish you guys could come up for the local sheep and wool festival in two weeks!
