Green Mountain Fiber Festival

The GM Fiber Festival took place this year (2013) at the Wilder Center  in Wilder, VT in late November. I enjoyed walking around looking at all the lovely things. It was difficult to decide what I wanted but I finally settled on:

-- a small kit from Dirty Works Dye Works
It contained a skein of yarn (alpaca, merino, silk) and a Cabled Keyhole Scarf pattern.

-- a nostepinne made by The Wee Piper in South Royalton, VT

I have wanted one for so long and I finally treated myself. I have really enjoyed using it. There are some You Tube videos that show you how to use one.

-- a skein of sock yarn (Churro Super-sock) from Gage Hill Crafts

The socks will need to be hand washed -- but I couldn't resist the yarn.

-- and I took a workshop on how to make Dorset Buttons

I have made them before but I couldn't resist taking a refresher.
