My husband and children are the GREATEST!
They ALL went with me to the Black Sheep Gathering.
Were there complaints? None that I heard. Is my husband allergic to Alpacas? Uh-huh. Did he hang out in the Alpaca tent with me? Yup!
Did my son walk the whole event with me, weighing in on fiber texture, color, and project ideas? You bet! He is 13 years old and quite possibly one of my favorite people to yarn shop with. As long as it is soft he thinks buying it is the right thing to do. Geez, I really love that boy.
Even The Toddler had fun. What’s not fun about about running like a crazed animal through a crowd of ladies with dad trying very hard to keep you under wraps? And my eldest daughter was helpful and pleasant the whole time, not an easy task if you are 15.
The focus was mostly on spinning, something I have not learned, and the desire to learn it comes and goes for me.
However, I did stumble upon 1000 yards of undyed mohair, and 6 skeins of Socks that Rock! I was elated — I didn’t even know that there was going to be a Blue Moon Fiber Arts Booth there. Lucky Lucky me!
It was my intention to take oodles of photos, have tons of information about the boths I visited, and the people I spoke with. However I must say it was very much sensory overload for me and I was giddy with the sights before me. All I managed was the picture of my new sock yarn and this funny sign from he alpaca tent. I guess the term ‘garbage’ is relative.
