Woollywood

Went to MD Sheep & Wool and had a great time.

It was truly Hollywood for knitters!

I was amazed at the local happenings. Spinning straight from the bunny. That was something to see.

I must say I was more excited about my celebrity sightings.

Next time I must wear my glasses and not try to look cute in my shades that need an updated prescription. While standing in line chatting it up with a few of the festivalgoers, I start talking to someone that looked extremely familiar (even with blurry vision). Once I had finally decided on my t-shirt and shifted up in line to better lighting, I realized that it was Claudia. Just as nice as I imagined she would be.

Then I walked out of the t-shirt barn and spotted a girlreaction t-shirt on Carolyn and before I could get up the nerve to say anything thing, I look up to see Leigh right behind her and then the only thing I could muster up to say was a dorky hi. Too much celebrity. I was at a total loss for words.

But I must say the best part was running into Rachael who I literally almost bumped into. I was so thrilled I forgot to pick the yarn back up that I had planned to purchase. She was just as awesome as her blog and it was quite a treat to get the opportunity to meet her after enjoying her blog for so long. And, yes there is more, Bethany was with her and so that made it twice as nice.

I wish I had spoken to them all. But with the HUGE crowd at MDS&W if every person that enjoyed their blogs for the many reasons we know we do, stopped to tell them just how fabulous they are, they wouldn't have time to buy yarn. Maybe, next festival...

You are too funny. I bet it was great seeing all the bloggers you read about. Afterwards, did you shop til you drop?

I'm soooooo jealous - sounds like it was awesome & excellent, all around. I'm already planning on making the trek to Rhinebeck in October.

I really think I would feel that way, like, celebrity blog spotting. The few times I've seen real famous people I freaked out. I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger at the 96 OLympics in Atlanta and I literally jumped onto my seat and jumped up and down, screaming. And I don't even like him.

Spinnig intrigues me! I've never done it!

I'm so jealous of you all, I wish I could have been there.. I'm already plotting my excuses for a US trip at just the right time next year!

Hee hee! I know I would be starstruck too..."I'm not worthy!" But it's good that the bloggers are really as nice as they are, well, on their blogs! And yes, yes, what did you buy? Do share!

Hi ...! Thanks for stopping to say hi. I thought you looked extremely cool in those shades.

:-)

I went back into the t-shirt line on Sunday and totally bought more logo merchandise....looking at my brand new mousepad now.
