Where I Went



Last weekend my husband and I drove north to the Endless Mountain fiber festival for the day.  I was unable to attend last year due to his dad passing and our trip up to Canada for a gravesite service.
I was excited to once again return to this small but exciting event.


Two years ago when I attended my sister and brother in law were with us and we had so much fun.  This year, I focused on enhancing my stash with what was lacking.  I steered away from alpaca (for no particular reason, I have it in stash).  I was interested in natural unprocessed fibers or unusual fiber blends.


This is what I bought:

yakity-yak wool by Skirted Fleece Mill
summer breeze by Gurdy Run Woolen Mill
two skeins of mohair blends by Holly Road Fiber Farm

I hope to have these entered into my Ravelry stash soon.


Of course, I'm itching to start something new, but I need to finish a few projects already started.  

We had a quick packed lunch on a bench (I wasn't feeling too great because of the preschooler sharing her preschool viruses).  I soaked in the quiet beauty of being in the country.  It was a beautiful day!
