The Yarn I bought was actually from Peru, and not her personal stuff, but she was selling lots of hand-knit things in her shop (Knit on Martha's Vineyard), with her yarn. I did buy some nice roving however, a small amount to practice my dying and spinning with. I didn't want to invest in a huge amount in case I'm disappointed with my skill level. I haven't taken a class on handspinning for several years now.
I feel like this little trip is the beginning of my really getting into doing more of the stuff that just makes me happy. SO...on that note, I'm returning to the island for the Fiber Festival on April 19th. I'm hoping to take lots of great photos there. I'll also be returning to islandalpaca for some alpaca shearing. Should be very interesting and maybe I can get some more of this: 
and maybe some more yarn as well... or not.
On April 27th I'll be going to see Stephanie Pearl McPhee speak about her new book, which will include a visit to WEBS. So, I have to save some money for that trip. Today I added another event to my happiness trip... I'm going to see Kristin Nicholas at Seed Stitch Fine Yarn.
I'm on a roll folks, and I couldn't be happier.
I also finished my Autumn Tam, but it needs about 1/3 more of the stitches sewn in and to be blocked, which I can't wait for, but apparently not enough that it motivated me to sew in those ends because I cast on for Pototomous instead. The only problem with that is I know I don't have enough yarn to finish the socks, so I may have to frog them and do something else. Like finish THIS HAT!
I truly hope I'm on a path of fulfilling my own happiness with fiber joy!
