My yummy new yarn from the festival

25 10 2009

What a fun day!  My husband Don and I had a blast yesterday at the Southwest Fiber Festival.  The sky was very blue, the temperature was perfect at 85 degrees and there was lots of fibery goodness in the air.  While I was busy strolling from vendor to vendor, my hubby was kind enough to play photographer.  He captured the essence of the festival very well and you can view complete photos on my Facebook Fan page, along with my first ever video, which was of the Danza Mexica Cuauhtemoc – dancers.

Here’s my new heart throb….. He was the cutest guy.

I didn’t get too crazy in buying yarn, but I did mange to buy 4 skeins that I can’t wait to wind and starting knitting with.

On the right:  Pleasant Dreams, Flying Solo Single by Flutterby Fibers - Merino/Bamboo Mix.  This yarn is super soft and has such a wonderful mix of colors. 

On the left:  Paca-Peds Superwash Alpaca sock yarn

I also purchased one skein fo 100% Bamboo from Flutterby Fibers in a copper patina – talk about soft!  This skein is destined for a lacey scarf for me.
I also purchased a skein of Royal Platinum Alpaca by Royal Fiber Spinnery in colorway Wilderness.  This skein of 100% Alpaca will make a great hat.
It was a great day!

Peacefully Knitting

Hi Laura…. Thank you so much and it was tons of fun meeting you yesterday! My mother-n-law loves your yarn and told me see wished she knitted. My mom told me I better hide it when she comes to visit.

Beautiful yarns! The bamboo one in particular. The picture of the alpaca is so cute. My husband and I would love to raise them. Maybe someday! I know you were like a kid in a candy store! Sue (My Attic's Treasures)
