I went to my first fiber festival ever! And it was the first year that this fiber festival was ever held. So I’m like a pioneer.

Flock Fiber Festival was held at Magnuson Park here in Seattle and I’m so glad I went. I didn’t go with any particular projects in mind but still managed to walk away with my bank account hundreds of dollars lighter.

I met knotbadbritt in person – she likes yarn, Ballard, and the Kraken, too. I was too shy introverted to ask for a photo. I got a couple of goodies from the Makers of Color Collective booth that she was operating.

I’ve long admired Hello Lavender’s stitch markers/progress keepers and scored myself a couple of gorgeous sets.

I discovered Sewrella and loved the perfectly coordinated yarns that were available. Not sure what I’ll do with these lovelies, yet.

The Yarn Nouveau booth was wonderfully moody with a color palette that spoke to my soul. I’m anticipating a striped sweater for these beauties.

And I couldn’t leave without stickers. I’m a bit of a sticker whore. Kind of like when I was a kid. But when I was a kid stickers were like ten cents.
