This weekend is the
Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. It has been going on for 40 years! I have been hearing about it for a few years now, but this was my first trip there. So here is a little pictorial review of the show, taken with my phone.
 |
This was the main walkway into the Festival. Lots of festival type food.
|
 |
| This is the largest building full of vendors. There were several smaller barns jam packed full of people. |
 |
| Lots of grassy areas full of more vendors. |
 |
This vendor hand makes her own pin cushions, they were exquisite.
|
 |
| Tons of spinning supplies, from fleeces, to roving, to spindles & wheels. |
 |
Dueling fiddlers.
|
 |
There's lots of sheep, pens and pens of all varieties.
|
 |
| These guys are waiting their turn for their competition. |
 |
| Sheep shearing. |
 |
Fleeces for sale.

 |
| Lots of lamb to eat at the Festival, lamb burgers, kebobs, enchiladas, chili, tamales, gyros and more. |

They have a great video podcast. |
 |
| More tents with lots of indie yarn companies. |
 |

Thank you to a new shop in the area,
Chelsea Yarns for putting together a bus trip. I didn't have to drive, I could just knit! I made quite a bit of progress on a sweater I am knitting.
Thanks for posting this review! I've never been to MSWF, but hope to some day.
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah, I am currently working on your Michele slouch hat from ravelry. Great pattern, really easy to follow. I'm just amazed and perplexed by the fact that knitting every row somehow produces a stockinette stitch. How!? I would love to be able to replicate the technique, but have no idea what has made it work like that (knowing me it's probably something really simple that I have missed). Cheers, Anna.
