You Asked For It
But first, here’s a picture of the festival from the parking area:
I meant to take more of the vendor area but got caught shopping with not much time to spare. As promised, here’s the haul from the event…

Pikachu and Lobo feel the need to inspect before I can take a picture. They are very curious about the cashmere and coopsworth fiber. Starting from the top left corner: 6oz of handdyed wool/mohair from Three Waters Farm, 14oz of multicolored coopsworth, 2 skeins of Salsa from Dancing Leaf Farm, 2 oz of cashmere fiber, 2.5 oz of mohair locks from Spirit Trail, 5 oz of kid mohair from Misty Mountain, 1 skein of handspun, handdyed wool/mohair from Three Waters Farm. That’s it! Oh and I picked up a pattern for a flapper hat, which the Three Waters skein is slotted for.
I had loads of fun finding these items and making my purchases. Now I just need to figure out how to spin. For now though, I’m starting to stress on my holiday knitted items. I need to start on those otherwise I’ll never finish. Yikes!
Are you knitting any gifts this holiday season? If so, I’d love to hear what others are doing.

You MUST learn how to spin…only then the knitting gets pushed aside for awhile. I love your stash. My mother went to the festival as well and went home with roving galore and a bunny.

Nice haul! Some gorgeous stuff there!
I’m pretty much bypassing knitted Xmas gifts this year, just not enough time. I might get to an Xmas stocking for my new nephew, but then again… maybe not.
Can ya believe it’s October already??

I can’t wait to see your Klaralund. I just bought the pattern and yarn for this last week and will be starting on it as soon as finals are over.

What a beautiful stash enhancement! I love the colors you chose. Those festivals are so much fun. I like to see so many different types of fibers and textures in one place. Happy knitting!
