We took a trip to the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival on Sunday. It was a girls day out. The weather was perfect, and the festival was wonderful!! The colors were better than this picture shows, but I was camera challenged on Sunday. The event was at the Tunbridge Fairground in Tunbridge, VT. What a nice place. If you have a chance its a nice place to visit next year.
The Border Collie herding was very fun to watch. I may have caught the puppy bug...
Since I've been back I've been working hard on the shop schedule. There is a calendar on the website www.fostersheepfarm.com. If you go there you can find out what is happening. I am also sending a class list newsletter to everyone on the email list. If you would like a copy and your not on the list, just let me know fostersheepfarm@gmail.com

fall is in the air
It may not be officially fall, but it sure feels like it. The nights are chilly and I'm knitting and dyeing up a storm. I have several projects in the works...but what else is new!!
It is just two short weeks until the 2nd annual Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival. I am very busy dyeing the new 2010 Foster Farm Yarn. I picked it up from Green Mountain Spinnery on Labor and, as usual, they did a great job. I plan to have my regular colors and then as always a few surprises!! Also in the works for the festival are a few new projects to make with this Foster Farm Yarn. The new 2010 Foster Farm hat is in the works ( it will make its deput at this festival), this new yarn works great for felting and I have a project for you to make with it, and also a couple of new projects with the Wensleydale and Alpaca yarn that we now have.
I am still working on the class list. If you are on ravelry (and you should be) look up my favorite patterns and see if there is one that you would like to see as a class. I am just overwhelmed with great ideas and don't know which projects you all would like.
Also coming soon is the Big E (Eastern States Exposition). Our sheep will be there September 23-September 29. More sheep trimming to do, but I think they should all remember how to walk!!!
This may be the last post this month, but October will be a little less hectic for the farm and I will get back to normal weekly posts. In the meantime, I am open at the shop Tuesday - Saturday 10am -4pm. Stop by, you'll get a sneak preview!!
