This week I can blame my lack of progress on my weekend adventure. The first weekend of November is the New England Fiber Festival in Springfield, MA. I'm lucky that I also have family in the area (always a good excuse to drive to a fiber fest). I headed out Saturday morning in the cloudy gross weather. I'm a fan of audio books in the car (you can see a list of what I'm ready at Goodreads). My current book was Agatha Christie's And then there were none. It was perfect for the weather and a good mystery to keep my entertained while driving.
NE Fiber Fest is much smaller then Rhinebeck but it's all inside one of the expo centers at the Big E. There are plenty of awesome vendors to check out. I did my "snap a pic" plan so I could remember all the awesome goodies I saw and stick them in my budget to save for.
Here are some cuties to go with the goodies!
One of the things I did buy was a Kumihimo Kit. It's a Japanese braiding method that uses a disk, it reminds me of making i-cord with those little plastic hoops for kids. I have lots of seed beads and I thought it would be a fun way to make some bracelets or maybe even figure out some cut stitch marker ideas. The kit came with some practice silk rope.
Still to come: Swatch-a-palooza and what I got at Webs!
