Knitting update

On the knitting front...
while I was on vacation I started this cardi:

Finished up this tiny shrug I made from four balls of rowan cotton tape:

With this much of leftover yarn:

And started a lace shawl:

The yarn came from Uruguay, though ebay, and while it is soft and light the color is more golden, than the rusty orange I like...

Puppets and dolls

made from corn husk:

waldorf type of dolls:

A fluting boy-doll:

A resting boy:

A doll house:

felting

Unlike knitting there was lots of felted stuff:

And the lady who actually was working on a gorgeous colorful bird... please note the tiny orange felted crown on her head :-)))

She made the cutest sheep (and she wouldn't sell it :-((

She also made this swallow on the spot:

these little balls are just gorgeous, I think

but I was simply awed by this dragon:

the yarn

I am sad to say that even though i went with the intention of finding out more on spinning, yarn, and knitting was missing... the only yarn for sale:

the only booth that sold knitted items, like slippers

and bags

And the only spinning wheel I saw was

I was very dissapointed about that...

along the every day stuff there was everything

Everything, includes almost everything. Even arrows...

Traditional jurtas

Lace making... (hmm everyy year I wonder that though I tried almost every craft, this somehow does not interest me... even though I love lace. I knit and croceht lace... but this...just passes by me

There was tons of entertainment. Shows of folk dancing. I do not know where this group came from, but they were moving SLOW... I could not figure out where did they came from, but there was some interesting drawing (painting??? tatoo?? on their faces)

And of course dance teaching...

It is only 364 days until the next one...

more...

The city is divided by the Duna:

And the yearly airshow, and the Red Bull Air-race was on. I am rather immune to flying and aircrafts, when these pulled up over our head...even I turned my camera to them:

back on the ground there were carved chairs. I was enchanted by the little corner seat:

more folk arts

There were lovely dresses around...sometimes I wish I could wear things like this:

But some really wore tradition inspired dresses:

they were for sale too:

Since this is the year was the year of renessaince one could see dresses from that age...

Some from a bit later:

And there was everything... even chain shirts:
