Not bug spray silly……..Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival.
Husband ans I trek’d to Canby for the festival. I spent time hopping with Sherylswool while he was on a hunt for coffee and a cash machine. I think I may have enjoyed this event more than Black Sheep. Maybe because I was not so overwhelmed by everything I saw. I was better prepared. I also had a goal.
Must. Get. Sock. Yarn.
The event opened at 9:00 am. I was standing in front of the Blue Moon booth at 8:30 am. I may have been drooling. Initially I felt like such a stalker-dork standing there eyeing the yarn, credit card inhand (did I mention Husband was out getting coffee?) checking the time every few minutes. Then people started showing up. I no longer felt like a dork, now I felt like a wild animal, prepeared to kill to protect her territory! I got a nice selection of sock yarn. 
Sherylswool was no slouch herself at the Blue Moon booth. Being a spinner allowed her additional purchasing options. She even got a Sheep to Shoe slipper kit.
That settled it. I am going to learn to spin before Christmas. I am going to rent a wheel, make sure it appeals to me in application as well as idea, and set forth on a spinning adventure. And after seeing this guy
I was reminded of just how vast the fiber options are. I saw a woman spinning chinchilla, the final product was like butter. I could have a chinchilla (blend) coat sans all the dead chinchillas.
Now Madrona Fiber Arts is just over the horizon. I can hardly wait.
