BLACK SHEEP, DAY 2

In Galina Khmeleva's booth, an Orenburg shawl wrapped itself around Terri:

We've gone at a restful, vacation-like pace this trip. We ran into friends --

(Sandy and Janet)

visited with Michele in her booth, and sat and spun for a time with Kit, Diane, and Sheila. (I'm not yet a convert to spinning, so I knitted -- finished the neckband for the Prince Caspian sweater, and worked a couple of rows on the Sandness sweater.)

I was sooo excited about that silk boucle, that I rushed up to pay for it, and somehow in my haste the top button popped open on my blouse. The lady tending the booth said, "In some places, that might get you a discount -- but not here, Dearie."

Terri spends a quiet moment fondling the fleece that she bought.

Here, I contemplate the three balls of beginner-spinner's Shetland wool that I bought. I also got a Schacht drop spindle that Terri has been teaching me how to use.
