Midwest Fiber & Folk Art Fair. All I remember is waking up at the butt crack of dawn and heading to Crystal lake with A:-). Check out her blog for more fine details as all I can muster up is some random bits.
First off I was trying to be really good and watch how much I spent. Miss Babs booth...oh boy did they have good stuff!
Two 4oz BFL in Harvest colorway and of course I couldn't pass up the Yummy sock yarn in Rock Wall colorway.
Besides for rain (which we can't control) the only thing that was irritating was the bad folk songs being song at ear piercing levels.
They sell more roving / spinning stuff at this fiber festival then at Stitches.
I'm kinda glad that I didn't take the kids. They had face painting, spiral art, alpacas to see and angora bunnies to touch. Not much in the way of "kids stuff".
I did like that the Midwest Fiber festival is small enough to meet people and not get too lost in the crowd. Ran into a bunch of familiar faces: Becca & Miss M, Dreamsweaver, Old bean. Along with A:-)'s tag-a-long group: Linda, Jamie and Rachael! I love how everyone was able to wonder around and yet not loose anyone.
Wish I would have brought my wheel because after repeating the show a second round we tagged up with Jar Lady and Sheri from the Loopy Ewe for a little down time to knitting and spinning.
I worked on my second Windmill Beret and cast-on with no issues. Hurray!

Sounds like a fabulous day! I can't wait to fondle your purchases.
The second beret will be much easier to knit. I breezed right through it the second time around. Your colors are beautiful!
Can't believe I forgot about that folk singer . . . :-D So glad you came with - it really was a big fun day!
You were there? I was there! Wish we could've said hello! :)
