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.
