Part Two of Wis S&W

Wisconsin Sheep and Wool is a great fiber event.  Big enough to have a lot of vendors, classes, events, and animals but small enough not to overwhelm a person.  I didn't take any photos in my spinning class (shame on me) but here are the photos from the Ravelry Afterparty in Rome. 

Beth, the organizer that made the party happen and dessert-maker extraordinaire, and Cathy-Cate.

Jenny/Tua Bella shows off her Pomatomus by request. 

Maisymae (Ravelry link) spinning some lovely batt, my DSIL Anne (seated) and Jenny.

More spinners

More spinners...fiber is silk, spinners are from Iowa!

Jenny, Cathy-Cate, and Brandy.

Kath, a back of a nice lady who works at Yarns By Design and I should remember her name considering the time spent at that establishment.), and some other folks 

A very fun event.  It was so nice to be in the same room with so many fiber-lovers.  I don't remember names so let me know if you spot somebody you know and can give me a name.  (ETA some names and blog links)

Looks like fun! We recently had an out of town Raveler come to our knit night - it was great!

Looks like fun. I've only been to the huge overwhelming fiber festivals and the mobbed insane Ravelry after-parties. Wow, there's actually room to move around and talk to people and get to know them. Cool.
I'm going to the NJ Sheep & Wool in a few weeks. It will be my first small & manageable festival!

Looks like a wonderful gathering that was a lot of fun.

In the picture with Anne and MaisyMae, as well as in the picture with me later, is Jenny/Tua Bella -- she's a mod for the On Wisconsin group on Ravelry.

And that's Brandy (Cheesehead with Sticks) sitting in front of us in the later picture.

It was a great evening, and so nice to meet you!

Proof that virtual friends do exist and are more fun in person.
