Bendy

On Friday my Mum, Lucas and I went to Bendigo to visit the Australian Sheep and Wool Show.  I don't have any photos to prove this little trip, because I left my camera at home.  If you don't believe me go and visit the Lovely Bells, she has photographic evidence. 

I, like DrK, feel somewhat spoiled by all the yarn available from online indie dyers, so I didn't get a lot of yarn.  In fact I only purchased a skein of Colinette Jitterbug and a try dyeing kit that has an undyed skein and some acid dyes.


I also found that there was a lot more stuff for spinners and not as much already spun yarn.

Having said that, I had a great time.  Caught up with some lovely girls, got to meet DrK, saw lots of sheep watched the sheep dogs work, and one that kept loosing his sheep,  discovered that Lucas travels really well, and had a really yummy lamb roll.

So, all in all, a wonderful day!

Great choices of yarn, and it was lovely to finally put a face to the name ive been hearing for so long. Gorgeous little bub too!

i skein! Amazing! It's good to come away and not have a yarn hangover isn't it? I just really wanted to avoid being caught up in a frenzy I might regret later.

Lovely to see you and meet Lucas!

Love the blue green skein, is that the Lagoon colourway?

Wonderful that your little man was so accommodating and you were able to attend, it's nice to be out and about with other yarn friendly people :-)
