Saturday we went to the Finger Lakes Fiber Arts Festival. You may wonder what exactly that means (like Caleb's mom who thought of things like All-Bran and prunes). But it is actually all about "fiber" which is wool from many different sources including sheep, alpacas, rabbits, camels, goats, etc. We saw sheep shearing, wool in different stages of processing, tons of yarn of all different types, and different items made with the wool. There was supposed to be a sheep dog hearding competition but we were disappointed not to have seen it.
Camberly picked out several different colors of roving to try her hand at a new project involving both wet and needle felting. She also wishes she could knit better so she could try making some of the amazing things that we saw there.
