Market Day in Prineville/ Great Success!!!



 All 50 booths were sold! Great variety of fiber/ yarn
/ books/ weaving &
spinning tools and more! People came from all over the states of
Oregon and Washington to little Prineville (pop 2000 something!)

My booth Norsk Needlework
I had my sweaters, caps, mittens for patterns, my new
weaving products for sale... and I remembered the original sign from
my actual shop in Wyoming, painted by my dad.. 40+ years old!!!
Quite a few people signed up to take a "Glitten" knitting class!
Anyone interested be sure to call or e-mail me:  cindy@norskneedlework.com

My friend Michele's Frolic Fibers

She harvests the fiber from her Angora goats and sheep,
washes, cards, dyes, and spins beautiful art yarns
She was also in charge of this whole great show. If I was tired
I think she was more so! But did such a wonderful job!!!
She even had a cart for coffees and a barbecue site for lunch!

too bad I was too busy to join them this time.
I was so exhausted after this day, and of course
setting up Friday. I had to come home and take a nap!

so many fiber products!!!  This year was fantastic!!
