Sheep and Wool Fest

[HeatherFeather]

I've already got my shopping list ready for the MD Sheep and Wool Fest.

I'm going to get needle felting supplies!!!!!!!!! I've got good bits of yarn, and I want to embelish the FT clogs that I'll knit someday..and thought it'd be a good place to go to get that!!!

Also....I want to get some good chunky cotton yarn that I'll be able to dye with my dh's walnut husks that he'll get this fall. And then make a BIG LONG sweater!!!

Any suggestions on the dying with the naturalness of it all? I've never dyed anything before, but I'd LOVE to try it.

And I'll be seeing you there!!! I plan on getting plenty of sock yarn!!!!

What day do you plan on going? My ds is getting confirmed the week before, but the party is on Sunday of Sheep and Wool. So, it is Saturday for us!!!

My knitting group is going to attend on Saturday. I recently took up knitting again after being an avid quilter for more than 10 years. This wil be my first time attending the festival.

We're from Northern Va.

me, my mom and my girl are DEFINITELY going. haven't picked which day yet- we just love it! (I loved it even before I started knitting- so much neat stuff around!) Kayleigh loves the animals she can see. and we usually watch the sheepdog exhibition at least twice! YAY

How can we identify ourselves as KH'ers????????????

[Chel]

Hehe I can make KH buttons and mail them out!!! LOL

I plan on being there both days.
And getting a hotel room in between. Not because its so far away...because I need a vacation!!!!
