Sheep and Wool!

[neotoma]

So, this weekend is the annual Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

I'm going tomorrow, and I am looking for:

2 lb 10/2 Textura white Tencel weaving yarn (for the loom-controlled shibori fabric I want to weave, and eventually making into a yukata)
linen or hemp to make string bag (ForestHeart Sutdio had nice hemp last year, so I'll look there)
3 hanks Morning Myst from Kiparoo Farm (to finish the Angelina jacket from White Lies Designs that has been stalled for a *year*)
A festival t-shirt
Another copy of HANDWOVEN March/April 2002
any very odd fiber that I haven't tried-- ingeo, yak, or buffalo
another akha from HillCreek Fiber

Also, I'm returning the loaner gown and ruffs from Misty Tower Fiber and picking up my own gown (finally, it's finished!) and seeing if Friends in Reed can replace the handle of the basket I bought from them last year -- I cracked it carrying too much home last summer.

And of course, Tomatoes & herbs from Thorne Farm.

I hope to get to the Diné Dah' Atl'ó, the Men Who Weave, talk at the dining hall at noon, but even if I miss it, the display is all day, and it should be very interesting.

Oooh, the jacket is very, very pretty :o)

Have fun tomorrow!

Yes, it's very pretty, but it's also *boring* to work on until you get to the lace, and it's going to be incredibly warm (it also weighs close to 3 pounds and it's *not* finished yet!). Also, the yardage estimate is way off.

However, that has not stopped me from wishing to make the Marta pattern -- which I have -- and almost every other pattern from White Lies Designs. They're *gorgeous* and would look great on me.
