When Knitting Was a Manly Art

Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival

A smaller version of the Black Sheep Gathering is coming to Canby Oregon this weekend.

The Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival has been going on for 7 years and is one of my favorites. Small, but with a good variety of animals and a super vendor area. If you’re in Northern Oregon-Southern Washington, it’ll be well worth your time come on down to Clackamas County Fairgrounds over the weekend.

I’ll be going down this afternoon to place the White Gansey and the Lace Garland Shawl in competition. I’m not convinced I’ll do all that well, but I’m going to give both a chance.

I’ll be around the show for most of the day Saturday and if you think you’ll be able to attend, let me know and we’ll see if we can meet up somewhere.

Thanks Lisa… I’m not quite as convinced as you, but we’ll all know by Saturday. I’ll post results - good or bad - sometime Saturday evening.

Okay, we’re planning to be there, probably toward midday saturday, and only for two or three hours, I’m guessing. Although it will be nice if we can stay long enough to be there more time than we’re driving. What’s the best way to track you down?

Jerry - I’ll be there all weekend (showing sheep, and selling at the High Desert Wool Growers booth in the animal barn). Come by and say hi.

I’m looking forward to seeing your stuff. The pictures look GREAT, but it’s always nicer to see things in person. Good luck!
