    Want to add my voice to the wonderful sense of community that was present at the VT S&W festival. I'm a "consumer" and this was my first visit to this festival, and I enjoyed it SO much; made me so happy to have so many conversations with "strangers" -- who all share a love of fiber. Great to see you both, and to participate in Millapalooza. Thanks for all you do to build and support that community!

    My first VTsheepandwool and it was more than worth the five hour drive from New Jersey… I can’t wait to return next year! The stars really aligned with the weather. I got to meet you Amanda and see your finished Lindal sweater! Food lines were long but worth it: I had the stuffed acorn squash and then sheep’s milk gelato for dessert! Best part was all the new-to-me vendors… I went home with a sweater’s quantity from Green Mountain Spinnery and a hedgehog salt and pepper shaker from Brown Bunny Pottery. Bliss!
