More Maryland

Wow, there's still so much more to remember about yesterday's Md. Sheep & Wool trip.
First, look at this gorgeous photo of some of Anne Marie's SnB-ers:

Although this photo certainly does suggest that being gorgeous is a prerequisite to membership, I assure you that's not the case, or they'd never let me come! That's Aileen; Ann and Liz of Crossroads Knits ; and Sally of The Frog and the Daisy. I admired Liz's new skirt that she just finished in time for the show.

And I saw this wild skirt from across the midway:

along with Clapotises, lots of lovely lace, and a variety of great sweaters.

I got to meet Swatchy (hi, Knittah! we missed you!):



Swatchy is being held by excellent BBF customer Karen, who was the official Swatchy tour guide.
We briefly watched some of the sheepdog exhibitions:



Then we tried a find a bunny who was cuter than Charcoal; we failed, but these two guys gave it their best:





The prizewinners' exhibit had, in addition to the aforementioned Sweet-N-Low yarn, lots and lots of items that were felted and/or embellished with felted trim

There were several gorgeous pairs of mittens done with stranded work, like these:



and some lovely sweaters, too:



and lots of lace:


We saw the extremely cute Clyde, Courtney and Max's tyke (this baby has the most incredible knitted wardrobe - but what do you expect, with two parents who knit and one of whom runs a yarn shop).

Did I mention there were sheep?

( I tried to slip this guy Dolores' phone number but, alas, he'd been fixed.)

At the end of the afternoon, we stopped for a moment, while Jen tried to figure out what we were forgetting:

Ah yes, a trip to the Socks That Rock booth (after the line was gone).

and this sweet find:

My only regret is that I didn't spend more time with Mindy. (EDITED TO CLARIFY THAT MINDY IS NOT A SHEEP! Gah. Here is her blog. See? Sheep can't blog. Except Dolores, and she's the exception to every rule.)


Baa-bye!
