This was my second year attending MDSW. It was not anywhere near as hot as last year.<\/p>\n

It was, however, much rainier, so I didn’t have the camera out much. I spotted some fun things, though:<\/p>\n

\"MDSW<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Model sheep – literally; he posed when he saw me pick up my camera 2. Natural dyes, waiting for yarn 3. If you cross it, they will make a sign 4. Losing battle 5. Charlotte would be proud! 6. Please touch everything? OK!<\/small><\/p>\n

I also (almost literally) bumped into Casey, Jess, and MH from Ravelry, but I didn’t want to interrupt, as they were deep in conversation with… Ysolda Teague<\/a>! To prove it, I kinneared her:<\/p>\n

\"MDSW<\/a><\/p>\n

Those are her socks. Please note my awesome kinnearing abilities. <\/p>\n

But the best part? BOOTY.
\n\"Golding<\/a>
\nThis is my new Golding drop spindle, which I have already spun a wee mini-skein with (the skein is soso, the spindle divine). I’m in love, and I want more. Perhaps I could set up a charity?<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
\nAnd the yarn and fiber, including a bag of discontinued Soft Angora from Cherry Tree Hill, several different kinds of fiber to play with, some indy sock yarn, more STR and Touch of Twist, and a few more Koigu mill ends for a project. I am very very pleased. Also under budget… really!<\/p>\n

Despite the rain I had a ton of fun with Melissa<\/a> and Snarfy<\/a>, even when they mocked me for my affection for Wawa<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now the next question is, can I knit this all up before Rhinebeck?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
