Had the most fun I’ve had since… OFFF last year, I think. It’s the highlight of my fiber year. And aren’t the bunnies and the baby pygoras just so cute you could die? Or dye, maybe?

I had a chance to talk to the guy weaving the robe a few years ago and it made my heart so happy. I grew up in Sitka and I feel very connected to the Tlingit tribe. And I saw those baby sheep too. So sweet.

No “it doesn’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep” jokes?!? Heh.
How fun! I can’t wait ‘til Irishgirlie posts pics of her adventures at OFFF too.

Lovely bunch of coco-- I mean pix! Great to see you there, and thanks much for such a wonderful series of photos. I didn’t get to walk around much. Extra thanks for the pic of the Oregon Swift Robe; if I had to miss it, at least I got to see a beautiful, beautiful photo.
And the end is *truly*...something clever I can’t think of right now. [g] I nearly giggled myself outta my chair!

Looks like a great fiber festival—I definitely have to go that one some time!!! I miss you guys so much. Can’t wait for sock camp or the summit—not sure which one I’ll be able to attend.

I love that you have fallen down the rabbit hole! Henry is adorable:) I have 7 little baby bunnies that were born 3 days ago. Oh my god they are so tiny. Louie of AYD (who looks quite a lot like Henry) is dad and my Grey/blue French angora, Clara is a great mom. Hope to see you soon! I’m looking forward to Story night.

I was just showing Att the pics here at the blog. He looked up, seeing the header photo first and said-"those look like sheep-no a bunny!” Then he saw Henry and said, “COOL...” But he is most highly impressed and amused by the ‘end’ pick--"Is that a sheep BUTT?!"-LOL!!!

This was my first time attending the show and it was spectacular! Much larger than I had realized. Too much to take in with just a few hours, which is what I had. Definitely worth a trip again next year.
