I went with my daughter to the Sheep & Wool show in
Maryland today. My daughter is a
terrific knitter, I am not. There were
exhibits of dog herding sheep, farm equipment auction, sheep shearing demos,
and sheep in their pens to be petted. There
were lots of vendors selling wool – in roving, yarn and by the oz. In natural colors and a rainbow of colors.
They sold patterns, buttons, pins (jewelry), needles, spinning wheels, and everything
else you cannot even image.
My granddaughter (14) and her friend went to see the dogs do
their thing and then to the barns to pet the sheep. They phoned to ask about
our progress only to hear we had barely put a dent at the vendor’s barns. A funnel cake, another dog show, and sheep
shearing demonstration and we were finally ready to call it a day.
My daughter brought two shawl patterns and some yarn. I hope
to become the precipitant of one of those shawls. It is too bad I do not knit
but I am better at quilting. All I bought was a bag of candied nuts.
