Black Sheep Gathering
Too, too fun!
I met a new friend (TracyBird, on Ravelry) at World-Wide Knit In Public day. We chatted a bit, and discovered that neither of us had time (or, on my part, inclination) to spend more than a day at Black Sheep Gathering. Since she was already planning on a day trip Saturday, we agreed to go together.
Well!
What a fun trip that turned out to be! TracyBird is great company, we accommodated each other’s interests without (I think) particularly noticing, served as reciprocal enablers and stash enhancers, were both ready (again, I think) to leave about the same time, and generally had a fabulous time.
We ran into Gail, Duffy (of singing-to-the-Harlot fame), and Susan (all PDX bloggers) in the parking lot, but only ever saw Duffy again. We did get to see Tammy and Debbie from Blue Moon Fiber Arts (Socks That Rock!) (and I finally got to meet Kim, Tammy’s almost-grown, and very charming daughter). And I bought (without flinching three skeins of Rare Gems (bless you, Tina!)
All in all, a great day — and credit to TracyBird for allowing someone she’d just met to tag along!
