I wish I'd taken more. There were so many cute sheep of so many different breeds and colors. And they had demonstrations of shearing and spinning and all kinds of other cool stuff. You could go to workshops and learn how to do awesomely creative things with wool. One of these years I'll go just for the fun of wandering around. I always feel inspired to knit something afterwards even though I'm not that good a knitter and have no time to do it :) <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SettingsSusanna Leonard Hillhttp://susannahill.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-85619964097456303782013-10-21T19:54:45.790-04:002013-10-21T19:54:45.790-04:00If you're crafty (or like sheep :)) you would ...If you're crafty (or like sheep :)) you would love it, Pat.
