Blackberry Hills Farm Open Studio

Comments Off   Tag: Knitting & Crochet,Nature — Boyd @ 8:29 pm

A couple of weekends ago, I traveled to Wisconsin to visit the Blackberry Hills Farm open studio event. I had never been but I had come across a flyer for it at the Minnesota State Fair when I visited the booth for the Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers Association.

The yarns I bought.
These are the hand-dyed yarns I bought from their studio. They are, from left to right, (1) a fingering weight sheep’s wool/mohair blend for a pair of socks; (2) an alpaca I’ll probably use to make a hat; and (3) a llama that I will definitely use to make a hat to match the socks!

Yeah, baby! After waiting six weeks, I finally got my invitation and joined yesterday. What is Ravelry, you ask? Well, it’s sorta like Facebook or MySpace – except it’s only for knitters and crocheters. My Ravelry ID is “fiberguy” so add me to your friend’s list if you too are a Ravelry member.
