SVFF 2019

 Doesn't this make you happy?



This is where I was yesterday and I was so happy to be there.



 It's been ages since I've been to a fiber fest and I was giddy at the sight of all this fuzzy beauty.



 I wanted it all and I mean ALL.


 My knitting and spinning mojo has been off the charts this week so it was hard to control myself.



I did however walk right past the fleeces. Ever since they stopped letting you feel them I haven't been interested. If I can't bond with a big bag of dirty fiber it's not coming home with me.



I had to tear myself away from the baskets. I wanted one in every color.


 I am going to show you what I brought home tomorrow but here's a hint.



And another.....



 ....and one more. Something was sending me a message and I ended up doing something I NEVER do. I blame it on the heat. It was 90 degrees and miserable inside all the little booths. I only lasted about a half an hour before I packed it in and went home. I did a lot of damage in those 30 minutes though. I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

    Oh, what a wonderful sensory delight! The new yoke sweaters really have a modern look with the colors even below the yoke! Looking forward to your selection!

    Can't wait to see what you got. I've never been the that festival but I will be at Montpelier's fiber fest & sheep dog trials next weekend.

    I so wish I could have been there. And I never think of it as damage, it is supporting those vendors and it is therapy for you. Can't wait to see your purchases.

    What a wonderful festival and what a shame the weather was so miserable. Looking forward to seeing your purchases. My bet is that you bought a kit for a sweater.

    You can feel the bagged fleece? That's just crazy! Love all the gorgeous braids and skeins.

    Oh Debra, that looks like SO much fun! How I wish I could have been there with you instead of driving through snowstorms. :-) I want to reach through the screen and touch it all. Tomorrow needs to hurry.
    Blessings,
