Oregon Flock and Fiber
Had sheep, goats, rabbits, llamas, alpacas, and the occasional pet dog.
I like the sheep with the dreads and fros.
Did you know they Febreze sheep? I guess they get that not so fresh feeling.
The fabulous carrieknits was able to come as well! She is so much fun! Um, Carrie…I forgot which colors we picked for the chevron scarf! 
If only discoknits was able to make it! We missed you disco!
I came home from OFFF with two bars of soap, a homemade knitting card, a HUGE bag of kettle corn, one sale skein of Patagonia cotton,
and four skeins of Socks that Rock! I was looking for some heavyweight mill ends but they were all out by the time I got there. Maybe next time I’ll be able to scoop some up at the barn sale I keep hearing about.
As you read above, two of these are destined to become a chevron scarf. I know one is the one on the far right I think the other is the one next to it or the one on the far left. Those are all mediumweight. The second to the left is a lightweight. I love the color on that one. I can’t wait to learn socks to knit that baby up!
This picture is for good measure.
It was fascinating to watch people spin on these babies. I almost talked myself into getting a little “hank” of some silk roving. I say hank because it wasn’t a big ball of fluff. I stood there for about two minutes petting it. Mind you, I don’t spin. 
Well, that’s my report on Oregon Flock and Fiber! Short sweet and to the point. I had a blast. It was awesome to finally meet Carrie. Her friend was equally nice as well. It wasn’t awkward at all meeting someone from blogland! If only I had more money to spend on yarn…

That’s a great sheep shot!
I’m jealous you got to meet Carrieknits! I live in the same area and still haven’t met her yet!
It looks like you all had a great time!

I love that first picture of the sheepie!! No more woolgirl for awhile…I want to go to the Barn Sale!!
Looking at those gorgeous skeins I can’t remember either. I definately agree that the one on the right is supposed to be one of them and I think either of the other colors would work (either the oranges or the purples!). I had such a fun time meeting you too Jessica! And no, wasn’t awkward, except for when I said hi to the random lady wearing green who I thought was you….oh well!!

I’ve known a few sheep that could have used a good febreezing! I love the color of that patagonia yarn. And now I want some kettle corn.

LOL, I can’t believe they Febreeze the sheep! Does that mean they bury their faces in them like they do in Febreezed stuff in the commercials?
Oooo, lookit all that STR. Prettttyy….

Oh, I covet. I covet.
The DH once Febreezed the dog. I was pissed. Until I realized he smelled much better.

I’m bummed that we didn’t meet up there. But I know what you mean about spinning. I don’t spin, but every time I go to the fiber festivals, I just go around touching all the wool lovingly!

Oh my gosh! Look at that beautiful yarn! And I like the idea of them febreezing the sheep. It makes it smell better even from here.
