Even More MDSW Haul

I have more things to share from this year’s Maryland Sheep and Wool festival. First of all, Sophie would like you to meet Jacob:

Jacob was sitting inside a tiny wee felted barnyard with some others of his kind, and I must have squee’d when I saw him. There was no question that the little guy needed to come home with me, particularly since I’d purchased three bumps of natural colored jacob wool that day, as well.

Three shades of Jacob wool, probably likely to become the yoke of something. Maybe an EPS.

I braved the bright, hot sun and unholy lines of the schwag department to get this shirt:

Please pardon the chaos of my bathroom, and the eight thousand me that appear due to the odd placement of mirrors across from one another in the same room. I have no idea why our landlords did that. It certainly makes for frequent brutal assessments of one’s appearance post-shower every morning. Oh, and I got the hairsticks I’m wearing in that picture at Sheep and Wool, also.

My trip to California went very well — so well, in fact, that I got nothing other than a couple of camera phone images of the ground from the plane. I got most of another Lizard Ridge block completed on the trip, which I’m sitting here finishing as soon as this post goes live, and I’ve started to jones for some lace knitting.

I have another thing or two from MDSW to share with you, and my dance teacher has commissioned me to spin yarn for and knit her some arm warmers from the wool silk I got in shadowy colors, so I hope to post progress on those, as well.

Anybody still out there?
