Hi Everyone!  Well, we made it back.  The Maryland  Sheep & Wool Festival was an amazing experience.  I had never been to a Sheep & Wool festival before and I was amazed by the number of knitters, weavers and spinners who were there.   Some of the vendors had lines wrapped around their booths for eager purchasers of their wares.  It is a haven for weavers and spinners.  They get to watch sheep actually getting sheared at the festival.  There must be more hand-knitted socks in this county than ever before, as sock yarn seemed like one of the most popular items sold.  Thank goodness the rain held off.  A good time was had by all.   We’ll be back next year.
