Looking forward to spinning - Shepherd's Harvest

Shepherd's Harvest May 8 and 9, 2010
Washington County Fairgrounds, Lake Elmo, MN
Yeah well, it's more than spinning. It's that and more - everything fiber and fiber related. Last year was the first time I attended this event at the Washington County Fairgrounds and have been looking forward to going again this year. It was such a neat experience! Watching some of the sheep being sheared, looking at the many breeds of sheep, goats, and the angora rabbits, the alpacas and more, seeing what the vendors brought, listening to the folk music, smelling the wonderful foods, and touching the rovings and yarn hanks. Oh my! It was a rather chilly day when I went last year, but all the better to wear your wooly sweater, mitts, hat, and/or scarves. Throw on you wool and come out on May 8th and 9th.

We have a knitting group and a spinner joined, and now many of the knitters spin too. Several of them own alpaca's, too. One gave me some wool from one of hers to try felting with. I enjoy hearing them talk about their little guys, but four dogs are enough for our lot in town.
