This weekend Marin and I (along with our neighbors) went to the Garden State Sheep Festival in Ringoes NJ.
It was a fun day! There was face Painting....
Goats....
Sheep of all sorts of breeds. This sheep is a Cormo sheep....
And this.....
11 pounds of fiber (cormo) that I scored at the sale! I was so excited and happy I felt like a kid in a candy shop (the human kind, not the baby goat kind)! I walked around with this huge bag of fiber for a bit and was stopped along the way by other fiber lovers. I gave some away, I let people touch it, it was great.... But the the best part was this.... the Cormo sheep and fleece that I bought was from a young 4-H boy. I almost cried!
Today I am working, working on new designs and finishing up some old ones. I am also going to wash up some of that new fiber.... I am so excited!
Look at that crimp... SQUEEE!!!
