Greetings All! Apologies for starting this blog then seemingly abandoning, but I have had tech issues that prevent posting, argh. On to more fun topics: The Fiber Event at Greencastle was a hoot. No accumulation of snow, so you know it had to be good ;) A highlight of this event that seems to kick off the festival season for the region is visiting with folks you haven't seen all winter, OH, and showing off some fine handmade attire ;) Handspun and handdyed angora from Fuzzarelly's bunnies plied with silk and knit by, you guessed it, Fuzzarelly ;) PLEASE tell me you see the knitting needles and knit flowers in Fuzzarelly's hair!
Kathleen's Shetland Vest woven by Donna Jo Copeland from locks of one of Kathleen's sheep.
My Dollie Bubbles Hat knit by me from gray handspun I was gifted by primdollie on Ravelry and my own "bubbles" handspun wool with beads. Yes, it did rain (and sleet a bit) on day 2, but most have come to expect that of spring events in the midwest ;) Share your favorite Greencastle story - this or any year! |
Fiber eXchange Guild was represented by Alternate Universe / Sharon Richie, B & G Farm / Kathleen Goble and follow the star studio / me (victoria smith). We sold some things, passed out A LOT of flyers and courted a few new vendors. Many other members were there with thier own booths, including, Fuzzarelly, Blue Acorn Woolens, Big Spings Farm and Fiber, Buerer's Farm and others I will recall later ;)
