Fall Fiber Festival

Yesterday we headed off to the Fall Fiber Festival. It was my first time at one and it was pretty neat. Lots of pretty yarn! I was too busy looking at the yarn that I forgot to take pictures of it, oops! But I did take a couple pictures of some other stuff around the festival.

There was a sheep dog competition that was running all day:


And a sheep shearing demonstration:



And of course all sorts of cute fiber bearing animals like sheep:

And goats:

Alpacas:


and Llamas:


And even Angora Rabbits (which I couldn't get Sierra to move away from so I could take a good picture. lol):


I didn't end up buying much, it was hot and humid and I guess that put me out of the mood to buy yarn.
I only bought one lonely hank of pretty yarn from Morning Moon Alpacas:

100% alpaca and so squishy and soft! Destined to become a baby sweater.

And then I got this awesome yarn bowl from Anna Branner's Cloth n Clay.

It has a face on each side:







And various places you can string your yarn through so it doesn't roll all over the place while you knit.




I also grabbed a cute little lamb from the same booth:


It was a pretty fun day all in all. I just wish I would have bought more yarn. :P
