Once again, we had a whirlwind weekend in New York attending the annual Sheep & Wool Festival and visiting family.

I loved these little felted guys!

I think these little yetis were my favorite thing this year.

I really wish this hadn’t come out blurry. This llama really liked my dad!

In completely unrelated news, all three girls agree we need either another llama or an alpaca.

A Herdy! They had Herdwick sheep there!!! Isn’t she gorgeous?

The Peruvian folk band, in their usual spot.

Love this Angora goat!

 

We didn’t buy a whole lot this year; Neve was saving for other things she wanted, and Emily and Oona and I had trouble deciding among all pf the amazing things for sale! (though if I hadn’t had such a long drive home I just might have bought an Angora rabbit!)

I did manage to snag some lovely dyed roving to play with, though! This one is a Cormo/Silk blend.

The yellow/green/orange Blue Faced Leicester reminds me of the mixed vegetables from childhood that came frozen in a block.

This purple and red blend is Finnsheep.

Oona and Emily each got yarn and hats, but I was unable to photograph them before they took off with them, eager to start their own projects!

Lastly, these lovelies are now mine:

I can’t wait to get to work with all of my new toys!
