Goodness gracious great balls of fiber

I made a last-minute trip to Rhinebeck, NY
yesterday for the last day of the
New York Sheep & Wool Festival.
There were snow flurries,
and fiber as big as soccer balls.
I should be well-stocked now
for next year's felting projects.
2016 might be an all-felt year
since cloth and clay dolls seem to be
falling out of favor.
Maybe I've saturated my little corner
of the market.
All is not lost however.
The condo is decorated with
witches galore.
There are always plenty of fun sights
at a fiber festival.
Hats and scarves, and
people dressed head to toe
in whatever they've knitted.
This year the funniest sight
had to be these guys.
Gotta love how they're all
working the foot pedals in their
stocking feet with big ol' work boots
neatly put to the side.
It was an entertaining day--
not to mention a very cold one.
A great day, in fact, to dress
like a sheep.
