Wool Fest fun

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.

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.

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

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