The first weekend in May is the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival held at the Howard County Fairgrounds in West Friendship, MD. I drove down with three of my knitting friends - April, Anya and Jen. The day started off with a light rain, but became a pleasant day, not too warm and slightly overcast. We wandered through the fair at a relaxed pace,taking in all the sights and sounds. The animals were precious to watch. Each of us made a few purchases, but no one blew their budget. It was fun seeing some the well known knitting patterns being worn. Many "February Lady Sweaters, Central Park Hoodies, Rustic Root, a variety of gorgeous shawls. Socks That Rock seemed to draw oodles of people. I gravitated toward the natural handspun and purchased some Icelandic lace weight lambswool in a very dark espresso, handspun worsted wool in a midnight blue/black and bought a skein of superwash sock yarn in a pretty driftwood color. Now to spend some time wondering what to knit. All in all a very good day.
I love what you purchased! Especially the blue/black. Can't wait to see what you make with it! Looks like a wonderful good time!
