This weekend was Black Sheep Gathering at the Lane County Fairgrounds. I went two days – Friday and Saturday. One of the highlights was seeing our local fiber aficionados take first place in the Sheep to Shawl competition – 4 spinners and a weaver have 5 hours to create a shawl of a certain square-inch area, from a pile of washed fleece and a pre-warped loom.<\/p>\n

On Friday I shopped the Trade Show. I bought some Blue Moon “Socks that Rock” Rare Gems:<\/p>\n

\"STR_RareGem_Purple\"<\/a> \"STR_RareGem_Multi2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got some hand-dyed organic merino from Textile a Mano, a recently-opened shop in Eugene:<\/p>\n

\"Stash_Neuquen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And these irresistible little skeins from Capistrano Fiber Arts Studio:<\/p>\n

\"Stash_Capistrano1\"<\/a> \"Stash_Capistrano2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday I went to the Ravelry Meetup and watched my friend LK win a prize in the random drawing – the person presenting prizes held up the precious little handmade silk project bag – L said, “oh, that’s mine!” and the announcer called her name. Lucky!<\/p>\n

I wasn’t part of the random drawing but I did get a goodie bag of prizes from Knitmore Girls. I haven’t joined the podcast-listening bandwagon but I will have to check theirs out! I was most excited that the bag contained a little retractable tape measure since I recently misplaced mine.<\/p>\n
