Woolfest today was WONDERFUL!
Jussi met me there, and we spent the whole day fondling exotic yarns and chatting.
I bought some Happy-Go-Knitty self striping rainbow sock, and some Rowan Calmer (for $6 a ball!).
And this. A supported spindle made from used photocopier parts and carbon fibre, and some lovely merino/silk to learn with.
A fabulous day, met wonderful people, and even got a gig teaching about ravelry.
Overall, so far we are all finding much that is wonderful in our new home. I am missing my friends very much, so immersion into the Auckland fibre scene is just the thing.
