CT Sheep and Wool
Yesterday was CT S&W.
Of course I went. And of course I got lost. It was Alice's fault. She was in the car to Rhinebeck when we got lost repeatedly also. See the connection?
I bought 1 skein of yummy cormo laceweight from Foxhill Farms (no website) in Lee, Mass. (I get them and Firefox Farms mixed up alot.) I hope to buy one skein of it every time I see them and have enough for a laceweight cardigan soon. Since it's a natural color, I don't have to worry about dyelots. It's going to be the perfect souvenir sweater, if you ask me.
Anyways, I also bought roving:
Pretty blues, yellows and creams.
That's it.
Well, that and a Klondike bar. Yum!
I saw some friends. The New Haven SnB represented. I volunteered and it cost me money. (Let's just say that I can't count.) And hung out with a new friend. The weather was chilly, but the sun came out in the afternoon.
It was the perfect stepping stone for Maryland Sheep and Wool. Only 5 more sleeps!
Yay!
(PS. Anyone need a place to sleep next weekend? I might have a space or two open! Leave me a comment or email me for info.)

oh man! I'm jealous! But that's ok. Five more sleeps then I'll be in MD!!! :)
I like the idea of buying the yarn for your laceweight cardigan one skein at a time. It'll make it really special.
The roving is beautiful. I'm still fumbling with my drop spindle, but some day . . .
I keep squishing the cormo and not buying any... I should just do it through--18 months of squishing it seems like long enough to know that I really do like it!
And that's going to be a gorgeous cardigan!
Hold on, now--didn't you have the same GPS for both trips? Maybe that's your culprit... :)
Woo hoo! I'm going to MDSW too and I can hardly wait! Driving down on Friday morning. I'll be at the Ravelry meet-up on Sat. We met at Rhinebeck but now I can't remember what you look like! Gahh!
No MissSmartyPantsAliceFaye.
I did not have a gps for the Rhinebeck trip. :P
I'll be the girl with the "Shut Up and Knit" shirt on on Saturday.
:)
I can't wait until MD! I think I'll be sporting a new tattoo for it...granted, it'll wash off in time but who cares, right? :)
I found out about this event the day it was happening, so I missed it. But I'll be in New Hampshire on Mother's Day Weekend come hell or high water!
