Shopping Galore at Vista Fiber Festival

No fiber festival is complete without shopping.

The Steam Engine Museum and Weaver's Barn is fund raising right now to add a new building full of spinning wheels and looms.  There was the requisite fund raising table full of bags of all kinds of fiber.  I found some cotton and some brown unknown fiber of a very short staple, but super soft.

I also found some holiday gifts at a couple of vendors which will be a surprise to the recipients.

I did get a couple of knitting bags from Slipped Stitch Studios and a couple of sock kits from the Knitters Brewing Company.
I found a new pet who is super soft.  Here he is at home.
I also saw this color way of fiber someone else purchased and I need to replicate since there was no more available.

Vista Fiber Festival


Had a great day at the 2nd annual Vista Fiber Festival.  We had the spinner's circle again.
And next door was the Back to Back challenge.
My pal Fluffysgarden had a learn to spin and weave table where she had quite a few interested participants who went home with a drop spindle and a woven bookmark.
It was fun to meet up with friends and Carol hung with Jan and Juli holding on to my new pet.
It was not too warm and there was a slight breeze.  Fun filled day with friends, fiber, and enabling.
