Wow. Just wow!
What a great weekend!
I met a tonne of Ravellers in person, saw some adorable sheep, walked and walked and walked and walked.
Oh and I shopped!
In my defence, some of it was from the mill, and those packets were $20 each from Pear Tree Yarns. But I will totally own up to the rest.
I also bought some beautiful wooden shawl/scarf pins
The Rocketeers all travelled up and stayed in a cottage together, which of course involved MUCH merriment and silliness! A wonderful weekend, and I cant wait to do it again. Even if I am totally exhausted!
So, let’s get down to business:
The cottage and the view. To be honest, I took bugger-all photos, because, well. I was having too much fun.
O…kay. Of course, this show *was* about the agriculture, which is easy to forget when you are drooling over things like this:
Now, I dont have many photos, but there are many who do. Like Kat!
So what did I buy? Well, I bought yarn, wooden pins, jam, soap, woolly socks for gifts back home, and a woollen pillow. I have ALWAYS wanted one, and nearly cried with joy when the seller said they were just $20. Of COURSE i got one, and will probably order one of their amazing wool blankets soon.
But now, for the yarn fumes to overwhelm you:
Donyale’s amazing sock yarn in ‘Habu,’ and some baby alpaca in ‘poipool’ – this is softer than anything else. Im just stoked that I got to give Donyale a hug! 
Two hanks of Moseley Park 10ply superwash (no felting!) yarn. These will be longies, can you see I am prepared for either gender? The ladies at this stall were *lovely* and picking out these two skeins involved lots of chatting and laughter.
2 Skeins of truly pschedelic sock yarn from Ewe Give Me The Knits! Meeting Mandie in person was awesome. she is one passionate fibreholic enabler!
3 Skeins from ms.gusset – aka Kylie! This was one big mountain of colourful sock yarn, I couldnt resist!
This was actually the virginal purchase! From a craft store in Kyneton, on the way up. Touch Yarns from NZ, 4ply. I had to get this – it’s the EXACT same colourway as my Maya Wrap. (sling)
From the Mill – a packet of 8ply superwash ($2.50 a ball!) and some 12ply. All from the backroom, and cheap as chips. The 12ply is destined for soakers and longies, and I’ve already CO another Vanilla!
I scored THREE of the $20 packs from Pear Tree Yarns. This is good, because their regular skeins are pricey. All 12ply, and lovely and soft.
All in all, an amazing weekend. I came home to a clean house, and I dont think N has ever been so happy to see me!
Next year we might go up for the day, as bub will be around 7 months old. But then again, I could bring bub and pass it over to Kelli. I know she wont object!
