Take lots of money Wendy! :)

Dennis

ok, this is wierd. I just tried to re-post (2 pm my time)...and the original one from this morning JUST popped up! I've been trying and trying to get it out there. Good grief! What a tangle! LOL!

Wendy

Ok don't buy from the first vendor...if you have time check em all out first then go back to the ones with the best deals or stuff no one else has.....I am going to ours this weekend too and will be looking for these wooden sock in progress holders....they have em in metal but I saw the wooden ones at the Yarn Harlots site and want em real bad Oh and go early Hope you have great weather...ours will be 70's and mostly sunny....oh and have fun too!

Donna

Oh yes forgot about taking money...leave the CC at home ;-)

Donna

I've seen ALL your posts, Wendy! Noreen

Ahhh yes! MONEY! and good walking shoes, a large tote bag for treasures....I would not have thought of most of these ideas. You guys are great! and obviously very experienced festival crawlers. :D

Wendy

This is a very small festival, you can see everything in about an hour. It's fun! Linda

Ok, I'm home again. Had a wonderful time and followed lots of your advice. I had a large bag, money, good shoes. Looked at lots before buying anything. I ended up buying very little (just some hot pink roving and a skein of beautifully dyed deep red-toned fingering wool). Next time, I'll go equiped with patterns/quantities of yarn in mind. Fun stuff! :D

Wendy

I had a good time at ours too....and proud of myself....no yarn but think I have completed my needle collection, one lady was selling 5 inch dps they were cheap $4.95 so picked up sizes 1,2 and 3....started a new pair of socks on the 2's, they are bamboo and a very light color, never heard of the brand ChiaoGoo. Oh and lots of alpacas.....a beautiful redbrown with her 1 month old baby.....she was soooo cute and soft.

I wish I could've found such a needle bargain! Everyone wanted way too much for them, or else they were out of the size I was looking for. Sigh. But yeah, adorable llamas, alpacas, and angora bunnies. :) Wendy

My Granddaughter would love the two of you. Pink fingering yarn and size 1,2 and 3 needles. I still don't have her pink socks finished.

I got busy knitting and crocheting for the homeless in Rockford, IL and kind of set it to the side.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

LOL I have 2 skiens of Wildfoote in yummy Pinks with a smatering of yellow [SY-800 Sonatina] I plan to make socks for my neice who is Pink crazy now.

Donna

Yeah I know what you mean.....I like Audi Turbos but found wood works best for socks.....rosewood is my fave but too pricy so these were a steal ;-)

Donna

Yes Donna, My granddaughter Ava, is 4 and pink crazy. I know what you mean. Isn't it great to have some one that loves you so much and wants you to knit and crochet for them. Dennis

LOL yes it is and she is 20 but not into knitting her own stuff yet ;-)
