Hi! I'm Tara and I'm the Blonde Chicken behind all this yarn! You can read more about how I got this My mom and I left Friday morning for Maryland, stopped at every coffeeshop, ice cream booth and bathroom between here and there, and arrived 6 hours later in Frederick.
We failed to take a single picture in which we didn’t look like death, so you’ll just have to trust me – we had a great time! Frederick is such an adorable town, with a great range of shops. Our perennial favorite is Muse, where each got a little handmade book from YeeHaw Industries to use a trip journal. We enjoyed fantastic sandwiches at Cafe Nola, where the waitress was knitting and was also going to the Festival!
At the festival, we got down to goat picking:
Mom & a sweet Pygora
and farmer meeting,
These lovely Rambouillets belonged to Wit’s End farm and produced this:
from the American Cormo Sheep Association, which had the nicest, most helpful lady farmers working!
Merino from Cloverleaf Farms
It was a fun, exhausting day, but I ended up with just what I wanted and needed! You’ll be seeing that Rambouillet roving, dyed this week, in the next few days.
