The Hideout was fun and I came home with more goodies and stuff than I went with - we spun and knitted and wove and dyed and felted. We didn't go to bed until after midnight, and then got up early in the morning. There was so much fun stuff to do that we didn't want to waste time sleeping! There were contests (I got third place for longest thread spun from one ounce of wool, and first place for original charted motifs such as could be used for Fair Isle knitting). I learned how to do rainbow dyeing and I can't wait to spin the brightly colored roving. Pictures will be coming when I upload the camera.
And this morning we entered the lambing season! Cornflower delivered one big, cute, sweet, intelligent white ewe lamb with brown ear tips. It's cold out there, but mama and baby are doing just fine. Navajo-Churros are very hardy sheep.
