The past two weekends have been full of woolly adventures. In this episode, I share the details of my visit to the New York Sheep & Wool Festival. Listen to find out about the fleece we purchased. I also talk about this month’s Sheep to Shawl course at the Fiber Craft Studio, a lecture by Betsan Corkhill, and my thoughts on slow fashion for #slowfashionoctober.

Finally, I tried the German Hunter’s Stew recipe posted by Karen.A layer of thinly sliced tart apples lends an unusual sweetness to the dish.

Hi Sara, I so enjoyed your episode! I had a chuckle about your story of the Bressay Dress, I too tried the dress on at Trillium yarns, where I also bought the book and knit it as a tunic. I loved that store and am so sorry that it is no longer around, it was very close to my house. I am also interested in the Fiber Craft Studio, it’s less than an hour away from me and I want to look at some of the classes, I am not a spinner, would like to learn how to spindle, but am worried the sheep to shawl may be too much for me. Thanks so much for all the great information that you share! I really enjoy listening to the podcast! Elizmcryn on Ravelry
