The Carolina Alpaca Festival was held this past weekend, and I am pleased to say that I was able to attend. I want to be able to say that I never missed a single one! I didn't buy much--a pair of crocheted gauntlets for Bec, a hank of Thai silk the color of spring sunshine, and a hank of boucle wool that is a lovely blend of olive, teal, and cream (sounds fugly--looks beautiful!) I believe it wants to be a scarf for my girl, to go with her winter coat. The silk? It needs to be mine for awhile till it decides what to be. Probably crocheted, probably a shawl/scarf/stole.

My wonderful companions, Jane & co., Bec and Gretchen, were kind enough to let me view every single alpaca in the entire barn. They were all so cute, I wanted to take them all home. Jane is going to send me some pictures; I'll post one then.
