This was the sixth year that I’ve attended the festival and it may have been the best. It wasn’t only because my husband come along, or my mum, dad and sister were there, or the weather was awesome (just a bit to warm for me), or that I bought all the STR colorways I love or that there were many more vendors (food and fiber) then ever before or even that I spent Sunday with a friend who had never attended but a perfect combination of all these things.

Here’s me at the end of day 2…a bit beat, a bit poor but damn happy!!!
There was no sweater wearin’ but the t-shirt was a hit…and I’m proudly sporting my pins.
The perfect end to a perfect weekend.
I’ll try to get shots of all my purchases up tomorrow. Like I needn’t more yarn.
