Memories of the Woodstock Fleece Festival
Okay, so my flash didn't go off! Here are the pictures that I could take whilst at this past weekend's Fleece Festival in Woodstock Ontario. My verdict: a wonderful, woolly, first-time event! I will happily go back next year. Congrats to the organizers and volunteers. Oh, and the food was fabulous and well-priced. Thanks for all your hard work... :)
Almost forgot to mention, the picture of the sock knitting machine? Well that machine is an Autoknitter from 1925. The owner is The Bear's Den and if you have any questions, please contact them at 905-827-5988. I purchased a pair of socks from The Bear's Den. I was told one pair of socks can be made in 90 minutes (that's a dream of most hand-knitters!). Lovely people too. Along with making socks, I believe The Bear's Den also sell antique sock knitting machines and give lessons on how to actually use them.
