Alpaca Kathy aka Blogless sent out an invitation to spin at
Parker River Alpaca Farm. 
The
timing was perfect, and so was the weather. Of course I went. I wouldn't miss this cute photo op!
We spun, we chatted, we visited alpacas, we watched the guys set up a sock
knitting machine and crank out a beer cozy, we played with an electric drum carder, and
Heather even brought fiber for sale and a small riot erupted as we dove for the one bin of sale stuff.
Ok, so I admit it - that was me rioting and diving.
Then I played like Santa on Christmas morning, handing out fondlables to whoever gasped first over whatever surfaced. Almost as much fun as buying something for me. And you know I bought.
One pound of dyed merino superwash roving in colorway Carousel. Perfect for a sweet granddaughter, dontcha think? I
also picked out a lovely orifice hook for my sadly hookless Canadian Production Wheel. It's in that bag if you can find it. And then Kathy and Olivia
conspired and brought out some Very. Fine. Alpaca Fleeces. This little lady's prime baby blanket is coming home with me. And I guess Dave over at
Cabin Cove is a bad influence,
cause I couldn't resist this nice little parting shot.

Oh, sure, blame ME. :)
That looks like a load of fun you had. That's a great photo of all the wheels set up and people gathering 'round.
