Do you know how hard it is to use the mouse with your non-dominant hand? I have tendonitis in my right elbow and mousing hurts. I moved the mouse to the left of the keyboard but I have crap fine motor control with my left hand. Bear with me...
The girls and I left the Thursday before the festival and drove east. The car was completely packed. Sheri is a genius at the packing. We camped at Patapsco Valley State Park which is a great campground.
It was HOT and HUMID both Saturday and Sunday. Notice Sheri's feet in the tub of ice water. My feet were similarly treated. Did I mention it was HOT?
One of the Jacob sheep breeders hosted a flashmob: the goal was to teach 100 new spinners to spin.
Oh, Jessica. You were ever so foolish as to declare that you just didn't have time to add spinning to your hobbies. Didn't you realize that meant I had to put my enabling mojo into high gear? Yes, I enabled! Proudly. She bought a beautiful turned spindle and about 12 oz. of roving. And her spinning is pretty good for a newbie. I'm so proud!
Because no photos from a fiber fair are complete without at least one sheep picture: the Scottish Blackface.
I entered 3 skeins of yarn and 2 knitted pieces but only one item won anything. My brown polwarth yarn won third place in it's class but won the special prize for the best spindle-spun skein. Yay!
We saw some great t-shirts at the festival. The best one said "If yarn were meth, I'd have no teeth." I also saw more guys in kilts (7) in one place/event than I've seen since I last did medieval recreationism. Oh, and I had my annual corn dog. Yum!
I'm incapable of resisting Seli sunning herself. She is ever so happy the sun has returned to the couch.
