Let's face it. It's time. Time to join my fiber friends in cyberspace. Camp Pluckyfluff DC and Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival have pushed me over the edge. It was just an incredible girls' weekend. I've never laughed so much in all my life. It was such a joy to be a part of this. How can I not share the love with everyone?
Crazy Carding. This is happenin'. Sure, I've read about it, and done it even. But there's nothing like fattening up a Louet. She's no sissy. This baby can card a fat sammie. Think less. Yes. That's what I learned about carding. Random is good. And don't forget to challenge your carder. Don't be afraid. Push it to the limit. Let go. Isn't every other area of your life about control?
Here's Lexi carding up some craziness. Next up: my turn. Here's a couple of batts. I'm seriously crushing on the Louet. But you know this already, because I gush over it to anyone who will listen.
We spun Granny Stacks, felt nubs, fabric, and mohairy yarns. The wilder the better.
But that was just the beginning. We lunched, we laughed, was it dinner time already? Food, friends and fiber!
The FFF fest just rolled on into the weekend, when we met up with Michelle and Carrie right before Lexi's booksigning. We struck a pose at every opportunity and laughed our silly selves to smithereens.
Oh, did we go to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival to buy fiber? In between photo ops, we did somehow manage to make several trips to the car. I promised not to photograph our fiber gluttony. Trust me on this one. We bought sooo much. It was great fun. Here's the gang:
I love, love, love these fiberistas to pieces. We had the weekend of a lifetime.
