MAN made!
Well Claudia and I had a full day planned for Saturday. Breakfast, Knitch for some knitting and then to a hair appointment together. There was a fire in the same building as the hair guy so our whole entire day basically was spoiled because there was no reason to go into Atlanta and we knew we shouldn't be spending money on yarn so close to SAFF anyway. So we went to the Gainesville Fair (MULE?? What the heck does MULE Fair stand for??). It had lots of little mom'n'pop crafty stuff.
Here I am looking at some MAN made blankets.
Read the sign, he was serious about it! Said he crochets as a hobby. He must have had 30 or so blankets there.
I got the one pictured above because it matches my gold-yellow suede pillows on the couch in my living room.
I also had to score some Cotton Candy, not just because it looks like roving, but because it's YUIMMY!
You can see Claudia's beautiful, recently-finished-to-wear-to-saff entralac poncho and hat set. I'm working on the baby cardi, just 3/4th of the last front piece and then I can add the collar/hood. So even though the whole entire day sort of got ruined, I still (as always) had a wonderful time with Claudia. I am really looking forward to our whole gang hitting the road to SAFF. The podcast is half edited, and on it's way out to the world soon!

I can answer your Mule question! Gainesville was originally founded as Mule Camp in the 1800's.The fall festival was initally a farmers market, but then it combined with the Corn Tassel festival (with crafts) and became Mule Camp Market. Each year about 20 or so non profit organizations have fundraising booths and the Jaycees organize it each year. We went on Sunday, it was still packed out!
