Sheep and Wool Festival

Scott and I just spent the morning at the country's largest sheep and wool festival; the 37th Annual Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival to be exact. Somewhat random, right?  We went to explore the sheep and wool sub-culture and to purchase hand spun, naturally dyed yarn for future knitting projects.  Actually, we have a goal to start knitting Christmas stockings for all the little ones joining the family and were specifically looking for fun green and red yarn.  (Ha, I love that I say "we" will make stockings because I will be the one to make them but Scott is great at motivating me.)  We found some great stuff including yarn that is marbled with many shades of color.  We also enjoyed seeing some of the 42 breeds of sheep and goats on show.

I'm so glad we went early in the morning - traffic jams were piling up and the crowds were getting dense.  Hope your weekend is filled with sunshine but that the weather doesn't get too hot.
