knitting a life

Today we decided to explore the Thirteenth Annual Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival being held at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds in Canby.  It was a perfect fall day, sunny with enough of a cool breeze to keep it from becoming too hot.

After breakfast downtown at Mother’s Bistro we drove south to the festival; a combination fiber and craft sale,

livestock judging,

and workshop and demonstration site.

Local artist, John Beard demonstrated Ravenstail weaving in one booth,

African baskets were piled on the lawn,

and yarn was everywhere.

It probably won’t surprise anyone who reads this that I came away with some yarn myself

and even started a new project in the car on the way home.
