So I kind of dropped the ball on the pictures of NH Sheep and Wool, and now it seems a little late to post them. Sorry about that! They're all right here, if you want to take a look.
My favorite purchase of the weekend was this:
Arbori (Merino/Tencel blend) from Judy
It's the exact new-leaf green color that I've been so enamored with for the last couple of months! I just have to decide on the perfect project for it.
Next up, of course, is Cummington! I'll try to be more timely with the pictures of that.
Meanwhile, I've already spun up some silk that I got at Connecticut Sheep and wool last month.
Before:
Hand-dyed silk from A Touch of Twist
After:
Soon to become this. That is, if I can find any time to actually knit between all these Sheep and Wool festivals.

That is my favorite green! Love your silk singles.
Love the green and your singles are inspiring! See you Saturday!
That is going to be a gorgeous shawl!!!
I came back to ask if you could enlighten me on how you spin and finish your silk singles.
That is going to be a beautiful shawl! Love the colors. See you at MA S&W!
You're going to knit Revontuli? Oh my, how exciting! :-)
Now I wish I had bought some of that silk, too (even though silk scares me.) The colors are so rich and enticing!
wow, gorgeous! I love the silk!
have fun at MA! :)
Ahh - don't you love spinning that silk? I love watching the colors flow over my fingers. Seeing the two very different photos is mind-boggling. Can't wait to see the finished shawl!
Love it! I've had that shawl earmarked for months -- but i can not get the translation & charts to print.... are you fluent in finnish?

We're planning on Cummington, hopefully on Saturday, but it's going to be after I work Friday night. Hope to see you, since we never seem to manage meeting up close to home.
That was a fast spin. I'm liking the perspective of cakes instead of skeins these days. Where do you find these shawl sites??
See you in <48 hours.
Your spinning is lovely to behold. Thanks for pointing to the pattern!

I can not WAIT to see this shawl!
Pretty spinning!

What gorgeous colors in that silk! I can hardly wait to see the finished product. And when I start spinning (some day), I'm going to blame it on you :)
That silk cake is to die for.
Fiber Frolic?
