finger lakes fiber festival- Hemlock, NY 2007

I ventured out to the fiber festival and highly recommend the experience. A beautiful drive to Hemlock, NY and an overwhelming amount of fiber to behold. Here are some pics from the day...

An amazing amount of fiber to choose from!



World setting records .. that's one big sock












Antique sock knitting machines that make a PAIR of socks in under an hour!






Amazing and funky fiber creations.


All this and more, there were over 70 vendors, a huge barn of exhibits, many workshops and classes to take and a selection of cute fuzzy knittable critters

baby presents

My friend and co-worker Belinda is expecting and due in July so I knitted up a baby sized sweater and matching toy.

my tote exchange bag

Penny in Winnipeg Canada is the lucky recipient of this bag. It was a knitting experience- I got to knit on the beach on vacation, then had my needles confiscated by Mexican TSA agents. Then the washer broke the week it needed felting. But its done and in the mail to its new owner. Can you believe how much it shrunk!

well, the exchange is nearly over. I received this great bag ftom my partner Rachel. I love it- the colors are rich and the beads really give it a finished look. She also included a box of goodies -yarn, notions, patterns and candy.

I received my partner assignment today for the new exchange, Penny in Canada. She wants a felted bag and I've selected a pattern and will shop for yarn tomorrow. Lucky for me she wants a felted bag ( I think they are easier)
