This past weekend was my favorite weekend of the year, A Wool Gathering at Young's Dairy in Yellow Springs, Ohio. It is a weekend filled with all things fiber!! My BFF Brooke, the Diva and Pipsqueak loaded into Doris and off we went for a Sunday afternoon "spin" . . . .
Baby Alpacas . . .
Baby Bunnies. . .
Weavers of dreams . . . .
Storytelling Musicians . . .
A true Scottish Gentleman . . .
Even Pirates . . . Arrrrggg!
We spotted another vintage spy car . . .
We met up with stalkers friends who stalk follow us (I know you're out there watching me!) on our blog!! Sandy and Paula are very proud of you, Kim, for your pattern publishing ventures and they LOVE reading about Bonnie Jo's suburban country life . . .
I bought some beautiful fair isle gloves that have texting fingers and thumbs! I said to my BFF, "But I can knit these myself!" and my BFF wisely pointed out to me, "But think of how much faster you will get them done if you just buy them now!" Ya gotta love a BFF that points out the obvious . . . .
This was overheard during the afternoon:
Lovely Woman: **sigh** I would really love to learn how to spin . . . . **sigh**
Typical American Man: You mean you have to learn to do that?
So we giggled, rolled our eyes at the Typical American Man and decided it was time to finish our day with Cow Patty ice cream . . .
. . . . Later that night . . . . .
I was being my barista self at Starbucks and on our wall of adventure, this had been posted:

Before ya'll get too excited, it's NOT five hours of spinning wheels for the cure . . . it's five hours of spinning bikes for the cure. . . . .
Love,
Wendy

Love the pictures! I don't think I would have been able to put that adorable bunny back down...
But that sign says spinning and Stitch on it. Are you sure spinning wheels don't count?
We were at Wool Gathering on Sunday. Loved the old fellow in the kilt. Loved the animals and the fiber and the border collies (which I seriously mushed on). Loved it that my husband bought me yarn. Only thing I didn't love were the jets flying at treetop level. Yikes.
Haha... don't you wish it were spinning wheels? That would be cool, too. Just think, it would do double duty. You'd be spinning the yarn to knit caps or blankets for the patients while raising money to find the cure! I think you're on to something. You're a genius! Brilliant!! =)
So, Doris is her name? Nice. I'm sorry to say that there is a very, very good chance that Gertrude won't see road duty ever again. (Pictures will be posted on my blog soon if you're interested. Oops.)
I miss you all!!!
