Woolapalooza 2021!

Breaking out of the Pandemic, our beloved Great Lakes Fiber Show returned this year, and the little knitting group that could had our first public adventure together in over a year. It was a blast! 

The start of the day was a little unsure, as wind and rain had pelted northeast Ohio all day Friday last week, and more was predicted for Saturday. Still, we pressed on, determined to see all the yarns we could and have fun! #yarngoals #friends #turnaroundforapicture

(Pictured: That time I yelled, "Turn around for our first picture!," but only half of them heard me.)

I do love to document the fun, and there is usually an arrival selfie. But first the setup... #smile

(Is she taking it? I think so, Diana...lol)

Then the perfect shot!

(Wait! Where did Andrea go??? Ugh! Oh, well...)

It was a chilly day, though it did not rain, and we had such a good time. We saw sheep...

(And a random guy in the back also saw the sheep... #photobomb)

We shopped outdoor vendors...

Alice bought a hat!

(As you do, when it's that cold and you did not bring your own. FYI, even in NE Ohio, it should NOT be this chilly on May 29th! #butwedidgettowearsweaters #knitterwin)

And there is this picture of me and Diana that I keep, even though it shows several of my chins, because Diana looks fantastic (as per usual)!

(There's the Pretty selfie we all know and love...lol! #badanglesareus #imprettytoo)

Finally, in agreement with Alice, we decided that it WAS cold (the high temp that day was 52°F), and we were about shopped out. So, we headed out for lunch. #toochillytositintheparkinggrassthisyear

We headed to lunch, then a little side trip into Amish Country, then home to sort through the newly acquired stash! And just about the time I remembered that I don't have that fantastic porch for photo shoots any more, I also remembered these granite countertops! Ooooohhhhhhhh!

All in all, another great trip to Woolapalooza, and we can't wait to do it again next year! Of course, we will keep knitting (and looking for more fun opportunities to laugh together) until then! If you knit, and you're local to me, come join us!

Oh, and gratuitous pics of grandkids, because, well...LOOK AT THEM! Sooooo cute!

Thanks for stopping by, and Knit in Good Health!
