Alpaca!
Today Erica and I went to the Alpaca Extravaganza! We met up with Jenifer and Meike and her Alex, and had a great time looking at all the adorable alpacas. There were also, of course, Things To Buy, like rovings and handspun yarn and handknit garments and alpaca-shaped cookie cutters. (No kidding.) Some of the yarns were beautiful but none of them really insisted on coming home with me, but I did pick up some lovely rovings for spinning practice: 1 oz. of red-brown suri from that handsome guy on the left up there, who goes by the name of "Reggae Rock-It," and 2 oz. of fiber from a llama named Kelly, a blend of her natural brown/gray and a bit that was dyed sage green. I can't wait to start spinning it all up!The Extravaganza will also be going on tomorrow (Sunday) all day at the Boulder County Fairgrounds. Check it out!

Fun!! Alpacas are just so darn cute...
I assume you got to pet the alpacas? I'm telling you, I could never get tired of doing that. As for alpaca cookie cutters, I hope you bought some. That's just not the sort of thing a person should pass up -- opportunities like that do not come around every day!
How did your Olympic knitting go? When do we get to see pictures?
I want to make a llama stuffed animal with those colorful South American weavings!
