Yesterday I was able to attend the Montpelier Fiber Festival, my first and only festival this year. I got there early, by 10:35 am and stayed until 4 pm. I probably went through the booths about six times both by myself and with the rest of the gang.It seems like just about everything I was drawn to this year had some green in it. I had a strict budget this year and I stuck to it! My first stop was at the Creatively Dyed booth. I know how crowded her booth can get. I thought if I went there first I would avoid most of the crowd. I picked up the fiber the first picture there, the one with the shawl pin. I then wandered and looked to see what else would jump out and grab me.
The Finn locks I picked up at the Misty Mountain booth. I remember buying some Finn roving from them the first time I attended the SOAR vender event. I made a pair of felted mittens and a cowl from that fiber and have absolutely loved them. It's time for some new felted mittens.
I have the rest of the weekend to play with fiber and get some knitting done. I am currently working on lots of Christmas knitting and it is coming along quickly.
Happy knitting and spinning.

Those are pretty colors!
Oh my gosh, how beautiful!! Maybe next year I can afford to go to a fiber festival, not fun to go when you can't buy anything and just have to keep telling yourself no. :P I have plenty of fiber to spin, not like I will go without, but new fiber is always a plus :). Do post pictures when you get it started spinning so we can see how that fiber is spinning up. ;)
