I was spoilt this year and got a lift to Bendigo with Nat. I quickly did my shopping before the Women of Wool lunch:
I'm really pleased with this wool I bought for Leon's jumper:
It's from North East Yarn a fibre collective from the North East of Victoria. I said I wanted to buy more local yarn! Because they well by weight in 500g hanks, and don't know the yardage, I didn't want to risk running out, so I bough a kilogram. If there is enoug left-overs for a jumper for me as well I won't complain!
I bought some Oyster yarns in merino silk and yak, which is just stunning,
and this jumped into my bag:
A jumpers worth of sparkle yarn from My Creative Garage. I hadn't heard of her before, but her colour pallete was amazing. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to make with it - make
Lunch with Women of Wool and the Richmond Knitters was a good time, as usual. As well as the women I knew, there were two sheep farmers at our table. The people who produce the wool! So fun.
And then Kris said she was driving home, so we did a final sweep of the lifestyle tent and headed home. It was a fun day and I really do enjoy the balance of shopping and spending time with the knitters.
