Thanks Are Over/Due

I listed these in order of when I got them.

This first thanks goes to Deb at Fearless Fibers. I thought that I had posted this, but I can't seem to find it. So I must have thought of the post in my head and just never put it down in type.

She was having a contest and I won a felted bag kit with her wonderful yarn. Look at those colors! I love blue. Thanks Deb! Head over to her blog and check out the things that she has for sale at her Etsy store.

Speaking of Etsy she has a wonderful post about them. Go over and check it out.


Next thanks goes to my friend Susan. She was lucky enough to go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year. I requested some yummy spinning fiber if she had enough room in the car after all her shopping.

She brought back this:


Can you guess what it is?



Here is a close up.

It is California Variegated Mutant!!! The colors range from white to a creamy brown. It is so pretty.


Also she brought back this:


Yummmmmm Look at that brown fibery goodness.

This my friends is Dark Blue Faced Leicester (or BFL for short). This stuff is like crack.

Thanks so much Susan!!!

If you happen to be in the Cincinnati, or Tri-state area you should stop by Susan's Store. It is so very cute and chalked full of fibery goodness. She not only has yarns that you don't find in other stores, but she is also selling roving and fleeces!


Last, but certainly not least, is this:



I won a contest at Mandy's blog. I got a skein of Lisa Souza sock yarn and 2 sets of way cute stitch markers.

Thanks Mandy!!!!

Also if you are looking for charity knitting Mandy heads up Caps for a Cure. Head on over and check it out. LOL HEAD on over LOL. She also has and Etsy store.

Thanks to everyone. I am excited about all my fibery goodness.

I've Been Keeping a Secret - Hoosier Hill Fiberarts Festival

I have been keeping a secret that I have been wanting to share with you. I have had to wait until the time is right and I was allowed to reveal it. Can you guess what I am talking about???

It is THIS!!! I am so excited about it.


On to more pictures from the Hoosier Hills Fiberarts Festival.

There was sheep shearing. It was a bit nerve racking watching the sheep. It kept moving and I was nervous that it was going to get stabbed with the points of the scissors. It was a warm day so I know that the sheep had to feel better after it all, but the process didn't seem to be going smoothly. The sheep didn't want to cooperate.



This is a shot down one of the isles in Scott Hall. It was full of vendors.



I had to get a picture of these rugs. They were made from braided strips of roving. They were so neat. I just loved the colors that she had too.



Here is a rainbow sample of some of the yarns that were there. It just amazes me the different colors that you can get depending on the process that you use.



Susan is drooling over the Alpaca at Frontier. We were all loving this booth. The yarns and rovings were so nice.



This is a quick picture if The Trading Post. I made my first purchase here. You will have to wait until later to see what I got there.




Look at all that fleece. Different Things Farm had a wonderful selection. How does one choose from all that???



Finally here are 3 of us that met up. Susan and her friend Heather were no where to be found. I can't speak for them, but I had a blast. I am hoping to do it again next year. The dates for next year are already posted, so let me know if you are interested in meeting. I think I will try and get there on Friday.

With the smiles on all our faces it looks like we were having a good time, or maybe it was all the wool fumes.? =)

From left to right: Me, Beth and Kelli.

Back From the Festival - Blurb

I headed to the Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival on Saturday. I had such a great time. I met Beth and Kelli. It was so great to finally put faces and voices to the blogs. I got many nice things. There was a good amount of stuff for a small festival. I am so glad that I went.

I have been hoping for some nice sun so that I can get some nice pictures of the things that I got. Can you believe that I didn't get 1 skein of yarn? I didn't get any yarn. While there was some pretty things, I just wasn't drawn to any of it.

Now roving, I got. Plus another fuzzy extra.

You will have to wait until I can get some pictures and get the others off the camera. Just wanted to drop a tease to let you know that there will be some gratuitous pictures of all things woolly and fuzzy coming soon.

Meet Up at HHFF

Just wondering if there are any more takers on the Hoosier Hills Fiberarts Festival this weekend??

So far Beth, Kelli and Susan will be there along with Susan's blogless friend.

We are going to meet in Scott Hall around 11 on Saturday. If any of you are planning on coming that day let me know so we don't miss you.
