Fiber Event 2010

Well, it's over and done and another year - and despite good weather and a two day stand by our booth, we actually didn't do much better than last year. The crowds were even thinner.

What saved the day was Lorraine's already skeined yarn, and some junk fleece we sold at $10/bag. Without those it would've been a complete waste.

Of course, due to the event and good weather here, we actually have about half the flock sheared already, and all of our inventory is sorted and priced (which explains the lack of posting here the past week or so). And we got some excellent feedback on our breeding program, about which I'll have more to say later. So it wasn't a complete loss. But it does give me pause to wonder if the so-called economic recovery that's allegedly underway is just a figment of somebody's imagination...

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
