Gonna try to get at least one sister to go to the one in washington county. the one here, the main attraction is that Jean the museum curator will be there doing a flax demo. had i had any advance warning i'd've brought some of mine along!!! but alas. i found out today.
ah shit there's an equipment sale at this fiber fest too. i guess i'll try to do this one on saturday and the other one on sunday. time to rally the Troy troops!!!!
(if you happen to see a relatively small spinning wheel for under 200 dollars, I will pay you an extra 50 on top if you get it) But don't feel obliged to look, I'm just debating whether I want to actually spin more with the drop spindle.
ALSO I just remembered, if the farm fam cracks garlic, turn upside down and smash the stem into a piece of wood you don't care about that is braced on something and it should pop the stem and make it easy to crack. I spent today doing that and my wrist now hurts but that's because I have a bad wrist and that's why I don't want to spin on the drop spindle.
