My girls and I went to the < href="http://www.ewetopia.net/UpperValleyFiberFestival.htm" target="new">Upper Valley Fiber Festival on May tenth. I brought my yummy camera and took lots of pictures.
This is Jen, getting us lost. Well, it was more of a little detour, really. We got back on track.
This was what I was knitting on the way there. I love my husband, but seriously? No more ribbed socks for a while. They take forever.
This was a restaurant or store or something, with a giant freaking bronze buffalo out front.
Seriously. Experiment Farm Road. No lie.
Hippie sheep! They didn't smell like patchouli, though.
This one was so pretty, I love that black nose.
These are the wool/seacell rovings from Creatively Dyed Yarns. I got some, it's really pretty.
This little angora goat was playing peek-a-boo with me. Only the hypothetical wrath of Nick stopped me from goat-napping him.
This lady was carding and spinning cotton from vitamin and medicine bottles. She had the most beautifully woven cotton place mats. They felt like silk.
This would be the 'after' shot of that adorable brown sheep above.
And the sheep shearing. This guy took fifteen minutes to shear the sheep from start to finish. It was crazy.
(This one's my favorite shot.)
And that's the brutal aftermath. A whole lotta wool.
There were Border Collies, too, that were herding ducks. I love Border Collies, they're so awesome.
And then we came home.
