Had a great time this weekend at Vermont Knit Camp’s winter event: Knitting within Walls.  Good food, nice weather for snowshoeing and lots of new fiber friends. And I got a lot of knitting done.

Seyon Lodge was a great place. The hosts were welcoming, the rooms clean and comfortable and the food was fabulous! If you ever want to quiet, inexpensive Vermont getaway, this is the place.  They also have a nice big space for meetings, conferences and other function downstairs. The bonus for me is that Seyon Lodge State Park is only about 20 minutes from home!

We had a site visit yesterday at the Tunbridge Fairgrounds, new home of the Vermont Sheep & Wool Festival. This will be quite a change from previous venues.  The fairgrounds sits in a bowl along the river just behind the main street of this pretty village.  In October, it will be surrounded by hills blazing with fall colors.

Many of the complaints in past years were about the “nonagricultural” feel of the event.  This site will definitely have more of an ag feel with barns full of sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas.

There will be more food choices than we’ve had in the past and a number of  pleasant eating areas on the lawns and in pavilions.

In addition to an incredible selection of fiber, yarn and supplies available for sale, there will be fiber workshops, herding dog demos, a llama obstacle course and other attractions.

Please don’t miss the festival on Oct 3 & 4. Visit the VSGA website for more information.
