I went to Fibre East at the weekend, which sounds odd but was in fact a yarn show on a farm not far north of Bedford. Very nice event, in fact - two marquees full of stalls, lots of absolutely gorgeous yarns for sale, a lot of emphasis on spinning, which is plainly the new big thing, and pretty buttons and beads and lace for me to replenish my already groaning craft supplies, heh. I found a luscious merino in dark greens for Bun's project (she wants me to knit her a cardigan/jacket, gibber) and a bunch of irresistible sock yarns. I did manage to resist buying ALL the silks and ALL the variegateds, and really I think I did very well because PRETTY.

There were several handsome sheep waiting to be shorn at intervals, and a decent refreshment tent, and a couple of specialist tents. Also a nice farm shop, where I bought raspberry beer (as yet untasted) and chilli jam (very good). It was a nice size, with plenty to see and be tempted by, but not so much that you forgot where you'd seen stuff, and not so full that you couldn't move. And of course, being a knitting (etc) event there were lots of ladies wearing shawls and cardis they had obviously made for themselves. It's nice.

Anyway. ( I forgot to post a meme thingy yesterday, so here are the last two. )

*insert paragraph of obscenities here*

I tried eight times to post something to an LJ community (the last two actually I tried to send a Message instead) with no success. And yet, I managed to comment to a totally different post *and* read my friends list in between attempts—which actually makes me much crosser than if I'd not been able to do anything

Thank God I can get my fix from Dreamwidth.
