Trip report
FIrst.. Sorry I missed talking to Judy and Sarah. Actually saw Sarah in her booth, but she was busy and I never was able to get back.
It’s been many years since I’ve been to the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. Many changes, good and bad. Many more vendors. It seems that the number of animals were down from the times we were showing.
My only purchases were a skein of ‘Socks That Rock’ yarn in ‘Christmas Rock’ colorway and a pair of Addi Turbo 24 inch US#1 for socks. Not that I need to start another sock.
Finished out the day at a pub in Northwest Portland and managed to get a picture of one the of plastic ponies tied to a curb horse ring. Still bizarre.

I’ve heard about the horses. Silly but I like it. Went to OFFF myself yesterday. got a late start and went the back roads from Sandy through Estacada. A lovely drive but took me twice as long to get there. What an idiot. It was fun but since I am short of both money and time lately not as much fun as if I could actually buy something. I did pick up a pound of Corriedale roving in pale gold (fawn) color. Think I will dye part of it a rusty red and maybe make a vest or something. Maybe I need to go back today and buy another pound huh? Excuses. Saw some old friends but missed you Jerry.
PS the honeysuckle is doing well in it’s new spot. Thanks for the horse pic.
