Friday was show day at Black Sheep Gathering. On Saturday there was time to explore other parts of the gathering. These are random photos taken in the barn and the vendor hall.

NCWGA show of Yearling Rams.

I entered the Fiber Arts show with a handspun v-shawl. There weren’t many handwoven entries but I got Reserve Champion for the weaving division.

I admired this small transparency with the image of a sheep on a linen background.

I spent some time at the Art Fiber Frenzy booth because I’ve been designing some pieces using the crazy yarns I find here.

Back at the barn we showed our Champion Ram and Champion Ewe in the class for the overall champion sheep at the show.

Then I posed for a photo with those sheep.

Spinners Lead was at the end of the day. I had woven a second v-shawl from handspun Jacob to wear in this competition. I also wove a scarf for my sheep.

Waiting for the judge’s placings. I was awarded Reserve in the category for sheep owners.
