Dickson Fiber Festival

Posted by – May 27, 2007

Yesterday I went to the 1st annual Middle Tennessee Sheep, Wool, and Fiber Festival. Judie and Phil were nice enough to pick my ass up since Justin had to work so he had our car. Yes it is the hugest big suck only having one. We used to work at the same place and had the same schedule so it wasn’t a big deal then. Now it kinda is. However now is so not the time to get a 2nd vehicle. We’re moving soonish and we need to be thinking of buying a house not a car. Anyway after that so totally pointless digression the festival! We drove up and it was cool since we hadn’t seen each other in a while.  So we got there and it was a bit small. That’s to be expected since it is the first year that they are having it. There is a bigger one in the fall down in Murfreesboro but I was glad to go and help make sure there is a second one.  So like I said it was small but fun. I picked up some gorgeous alpaca and cashmere for pretty inexpensively but what the hell do I know about fiber pricing.

The alpaca is on the right. Here are some sheep and more photos are available in my flickr if you’re that interested.

So after we left the festival we headed back up to Boobies Diner. Yes we had to go back they have good food! Anyway this time I did get the boobie burger. I just had to. The menu description which you can see below reads: 1lb burger served with cheese, mushroom and onions.

I did not eat the whole thing but it really wasn’t that huge. It was however quite tasty.

In knitting news I got off my ass and finished that sock while Justin and I played Arkham Horror on friday night. That game rocks if you’re a board game/lovecraft fan. Anyway I’m about a third of the way done on the 2nd sock so I hope to blog them in the next few days.
