I always go to festivals with a dollar amount firmly fixed in my mind that I will not go over. And then, of course, there’s one or two things I can’t leave without and that number goes *way* out the window. (Luckily, I know this, so I set my dollar amount much lower than it should be!)<\/p>\n

At least I didn’t come home with the Kromski Symphony I tried. It was close though, because that wheel was really, really nice. But I have my Minstrel and I’m going to research and try out other portable wheels before I commit to anything new.<\/p>\n

So what did I come home with?<\/p>\n

Part one:

\nClockwise from the upper left: wool from Spinner’s Hill, Carrie’s pink & purple wool from (I can’t remember where), a green cabled sock kit (for St. Patty’s day, of course), and two ounces each of bamboo and ingeo to try spinning.<\/p>\n

Part two:
\n

\nClockwise starting from the big green-ish ball: some green merino (I think Ashland Bay?) that I was talked into buying by my enabling aunt (it’s 1 lb, 3 oz, enough for a big shawl or a vest?), an ounce of sinfully soft camel down, a felted ball (Carrie picked that out), a color of Trekking XXL I don’t have in my stash yet, and some girly bamboo\/cotton sock yarn like the gray I bought for Denis at Hemlock. (No I haven’t started the gray socks yet.)<\/p>\n

Um, I think that’s it. Oh, wait, I bought a pair of needles too, but they’re already buried in a project.<\/p>\n

For more pictures of what Carrie & I did at Rhinebeck (I inexplicably didn’t end up with any pictures of my Mom, my aunt, or Van…) here’s an album<\/a>. (Kodak EasyShare Gallery, requires sign-in.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
