It's hard to believe that summer is almost over...seems like the year is flying by! Now that I'm out of school, the end of summer isn't such a letdown. Now that I'm a "big girl", it means cooler weather, llama shows, and of course the beginning of *my* farmer's market season! (I specify *my* farmer's market season, because the market has actually been running since May, but I only sign up for the second half, since I figure it would be hard to sell wool hats in 80* weather!)
I've really begun to enjoy going to the farmer's market. I wake up nice and early every Saturday, drive to Hamilton (a college town about 30 minutes north of where I live), set up, and then spin and talk to people (and hopefully sell a few things!) for 5-6 hours! What fiber enthusiast could wish for much more? Of course on the days when the weather is iffy it is a bit less fun, but the gorgeous fall days make up for it.
All winter my mom and I have slowly been building up my inventory of knit items to sell at the market. I take other things like handspun yarn and insoles, but the knit accessories really steal the show. I think I've got a great selection this year, and hopefully my future customers agree!
The market starts for me in just under 2 weeks...August 8! Hopefully I'll have my new llama by then. (Long story short, the original transporter changed her route so she couldn't pick up May. I'm still searching for a new one, but I do have a promising lead!) Can't wait!
