I went up to Dixon this morning to go to Lambtown<\/a> (quick, you can too – it’s open for three more hours!) to wander around and look at yarn and sheeps.<\/p>\n

Lambtown is a small fiber festival and there was definitely more fleece around – not something that interests me as I’m not a spinner. They had a couple of booths that had spindles that looked fun but dudes: I do not need another hobby when I still haven’t utilized weaving, you know?? I might try it sometime but I don’t want to buy a bunch of supplies.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it was good, and I even ran into a twitter friend<\/a> there (Hi Manda!) and stopped and chatted with her and her knitting group for awhile (go me, being social-ish!).<\/p>\n

I actually didn’t take any pictures of sheep this year because there weren’t as many! Last year I took a bunch but there definitely weren’t as many animals there this year, which I think may have something to do with our ever worsening economy. Also it rained last night a little. (No excuses!) I kind of wish I did because the sheep were all sheared and wearing canvas ponchos to protect them. They kind of cracked me up. But the sheep weren’t doing anything interesting and I couldn’t really get any good shots.<\/p>\n

Okay I have to go to my uncle’s party now. I actually have a finished project to show you all next time.<\/p>\n
