I need to be quick about this post tonight, so I’ll get right to the info!
As usual, Shepherd Harvest was a blast. The guys always take me there for Mother’s Day; you can’t beat that! The day was sunny but the wind was so cold, and for some reason it made me in a hurry to get through everything. A cold day I can handle, but a cold wind? Brrrrrr…..
I hit the Spinner’s Web booth:
And of , a vendor I forgot. Do you recognize this fiber? (She had a bunch of huge bins, lots of stuff with handspun samples of each one.)
And, Little Man making friends with a lamb. (Knittykid was hanging out in the backpack). This shepherd seemed to be the only friendly one in the barn. How is it that the vendors are so nice, but you head out to the animals and their people are so darn grumpy? Is it just me?
I didn’t buy any yarn this year…a first, I think. I was fiber focused!!!

Yay! I was there too buying up fiber like a madwoman and spinning for the Fiber Sandwich. Fun!!

Weird about the grumpy vendors.

I loved the Spider Web booth. I bought a big bag of Dakota Gold. I’m not usually a yellow person but . . .
Was the mystery vendor in same building and on the left hand side of the Mielke’s Farm (big booth on the end of the middle aisle)? I recognize the description but not the name. If you go to the Shepherd’s Harvest website, they have a list of vendors and (I think) a map. I was at the MKG table so stop by next year!

I’m dizzy with all the lovely fiber!

What a way to spend Mother’s Day! Sounds (and looks) like fun.
