I went on a yarny adventure last weekend with Alissa and Bonny – to the Great Lakes Fiber Show in Wooster, Ohio! This was my first time to this event, though Alissa has been there in years past. Bonny and I flew in to Cleveland, then Alissa picked us up and off we went to Wooster for a long weekend of yarn fun.

I highly recommend this fiber fest. It has buildings and buildings of vendors and displays, yarn, spinning, sheep, yarn, rabbits, food vendors, and more yarn. We got to watch a sheepdog herding some lambs and pet some rabbits. All the things you need for a great long weekend!

Alissa and I also went to a ghost hunt at the somewhat nearby Ohio State Reformatory. This older reformatory is famous for being the place where the Shawshank Redemption was filmed, along with a few other movies. Now it is being preserved as a historical location, and occasionally they run paranormal events there. Alissa and I got a rempod and an EMF meter and spent a few hours wandering around. We did not experience anything paranormal, but had an absolute blast anyway.

We had a great time in general. We went to the show on Saturday and Sunday, spent time wandering around Wooster in general, and of course our ghost hunt. We all found a lot of pretty yarn and had fun taking pictures of each other holding our yarn like fish (internet meme). We are starting to plan for next year’s trip. We have a lot of options in the mix, but I know wherever we go will be fun!

My stash enhancements – I didn’t go too far overboard. Just enough!
