Hazel feeding the goats: "Her tongue really tickles!"
It’s almost here! The New York Sheep and Wool Festival. And if you read Vickie’s comments in this week’s Caron Connections, you’ll know she’ll be there. And Doris. And Diane. And Hazel, Naima, Chris – and baby ?? on the way. We’ll all get together for a fun time, which is becoming our family and friends tradition. Sure, there’s lots of yarn, but there’s even more fun: rides and events for the kids, fabulous food (the French artichokes are amazing), classes (knit, crochet, spinning, wool art (yup), weaving), demos (I’ll never forget the woman who was spinning right off her angora rabbit), sheep dog competitions (herding both ducks and sheep). You can even buy your favorite breed of sheep, goat, alpaca, llama, angora rabbit (haven’t seen any musk ox for sale yet, though…). Doris is teaching, Ravelry has a party, Vickie is hooking up with her BFFs, I get to chase around my favorite 4-year old (I get there early to be sure I have enough time to check out the barns of yarns first though). I drive about 3.5 hours from the Adirondacks to get there, so if you’re within that radius, it definitely is worth the drive. And it’s supposed to be a wonderful-weather weekend. So see you there!! And, if you’re way too far away, I’ll bring pix for next week’s blog.
