Last weekend I went to Maryland Sheep & Wool for the first time, and it's just as overwhelming as everyone says. I was very disciplined and only bought yarn for three projects:
1. Peace Fleece worsted in Samantha-Katya Pink to make a Norah Gaughan Swirled Pentagon Pullover
2. Brooks Farm Solana in a yummy variegated green, to make an as-yet-undetermined aran, cable, Celtic sweater of some sort
3. Brooks Farm Willow, a fabulous wool/bamboo blend, to make a French Girl Fifi pullover.
I went into complete ecstatic oblivion at Brooks Farm. I made a beeline for the green Solana; it grabbed me by the throat and thrust itself into my arms. How could I resist? Seriously, this stuff is amazing, both in color and texture:
The first thing I did when we got back to Knitress' house was to wind it and swatch it with different needle sizes. This stuff is fabulous, absolutely the bee's knees!
