Wool Fest fun

October 15th, 2009

Every year the Taos Wool Festival is so much fun. What a wonderful weekend.

At the Ravelry tent I met Ellen (and her husband Larry) from Los Angeles. She made this cute crocheted headband.

This rocking horse from Ellen’s Wooly Wonders had a knit giraffe animal on it’s head. That and the monkey cracked me up.

Some pretty dried flowers.

This guy walked by me wearing this awesome hat. I asked if I could take his picture and he gave it to me to try on. It’s a wild one! Warm too.

One of Merce’s felt skulls.

A buffalo felt purse. Expensive but oh so pretty.

Thebes thought this one looked cool. It looks so manly.

Yarn goodness.

A knit hat. I need to make one for myself one of these days.

A pretty spinning wheel.

Some felt bags in the Lonesome Stone booth.

A pretty felt bag with dyed mohair locks detail.

A gorgeous woven shrug.

This is the biggest skein I’ve ever seen. The vendor told me it was 1,400 yards, enough for a sweater.

Laura took this funny pic of me.

She also took this picture of Benk, a spinner and knitter from Santa Fe. She spun this vest all from one fleece.

Another pic of my ribbon because I’m still excited about it.

These little goats were so cute. I wanted to take them home.

These two were cute as well.

I simply adore alpacas. They are just beautiful creatures.

Next up-the goodies I brought home.
