I don't know about other places, but fall is festival time in Kentucky. Every weekend, there's a plethora of festivals to choose from----everything from sorghum to sheep and wool. On Saturday I drove to Falmouth, Kentucky to take part in a Sheep to Scarf demonstration at the Kentucky Sheep & Wool Festival. (I know, it is usually Sheep to Shawl, but our loom was small!) I was spinning, along with several other women I know, and everyone, but me, took a turn at the loom. Several had never even used a loom before, and learned on the spot. (I do know how to weave--have for about 20 years, but woke up with some weird pain under my right shoulder blade and decided not to aggravate it further by the repetitive motion weaving requires.) My friend, Sara, has taken on the challenge of turning the festival into something that actually has sheep and all things sheep represented there. This year there was a full tent of vendors and another with animals. I decided not to be a vendor this year, but may just give it a try next year.
Meanwhile, get out in the sunshine, if you can, and have a good Monday.
Boy, she is definitely a little Miss Priss! How cute. Will she stay that color?
ReplyDeleteThank you again for all your help. The sheep to scarf is sitting out on the porch. Why would anyone want to spin in the grease?!? :-O
