Yes. I know it’s officially Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival, but all you need to say in the tri-state area is Sheep and Wool and wool people know. I didn’t take any pictures this year, but I took one of my loot when I got back to Reisterstown. And, of course, after I got home I realized I noticed I didn’t include everything. The Berroco books will have to wait.
I was happy to find the Japanese book that Gayle raved about, but there weren’t any pattern books to speak of. I found a couple of stores on-line that have several. Now, I must decide which ones. The buttons are from Creatively Dyed Yarns. And, you know what? I didn’t buy any yarn from them this year. This could be due to the fact that I had already bought yarn from three other stalls. I am so glad that Signature Needle Arts is getting down to the smaller sizes in circulars. I got a 3 and a 4 and I am hoping that 2 will be coming out soon. I picked up a neat little needle case. The fabric is pretty thin. And, I can’t help but wonder how long it will last. But, then I thought I could easily make another with sturdier fabric. I’ve spent as much on patterns.
The little cat was for my son. I got cards from the two women who make the animals. They do special orders and I think my daughter would a little Bo like her Maine Coon.
