Join myself and the Knitmore Girls in this wonderful event. The "official" start date is Tour de Fleece but feel free to start spinning for your sweater early. Knit the Harvest or the Flax by Tin Can Knits or pick a sweater of your own to spin for. I'm still deciding on what fiber to spin and where to purchase. Reccomendations? Would love to hear from you.

Charlevoix Fiber Fest
Friday July 25th - Sunday July 27th at Castle Farms in Charlevoix, MI. This is a wonderful fiber event that is on the smaller side but packed full of wonderful fibery goodness. There is $5 fee to get in per day but well worth the money. The event offers hourly door prizes, wonderful vendors, aplacas and angoras to pet (or buy) and sheep hearding demonstrations. I always get little man at least one fiber related kids book every year. Venetian Festival will be going on in Charlevoix all week as well, so non-fibery people might enjoy the festivities downtown while your getting your sheep on!
