FIBER FESTIVUS FUN!











Greene County Fairgrounds
Waynesburg, PA

This weekend was filled with fiber, spinning, herding, and all 'round fun! A small event that was jampacked with wonderful vendors, demos and activities in a rural setting. The predicted rain went away and the sun came out to shine on us.

Here are a few of my favorite vendors and events from the day. Enjoy!








Sheep and









Duck Herding...there was a small slide and pool for the ducks who would not be herded to by the herding dog but eventually slid down when the show was over. Ducks and cats, right? Not the most herdable animals. There were also adorable puppies attending while the mama dog rested in the RV.


A whole lot of spinning and weaving going on along with demos and a shawl knitting contest ...






Vendors!
Some of my favorite vendors attending...















Visit Bitsy Cohen's BitsyKnits. Be sure and and check out info on SpinOlution - a very portable, uusable spinning wheel that will delight spinners! I saw it in person and was blown away. There is a SpinOlution group on Ravelry. Visit her shop on Etsy... BitsyKnits on Etsy.






Aboundingful Farm booth is where I found this adorable Knitting in Progress pin (story of a knitters life) that I just couldn't walk away from.







FlyingFibers located in Lancaster Pa (Jeri Robinson-Lawrence) Hand Painted Fibers and wearable fiber art.

Handwoven By Tina from Holtwood PA (Tiny Volz) (Beautiful Handwoven gift items)
Spglassworks (Beverly Lamoureux) Shipyard Point Glassworks (aMazing glass buttons, beads and more!)
That's my travel journal entry for today -

Marg ( remembering that good things come to small towns...and to never overlook a knitty opportunity no matter the weather or location)
