Alpaca Expo Day

Ontem a tarde fomos ate ao Triple Diamonds Alpaca Ranch onde se realiza anualmente, desde 2009, o "Alpaca  Expo Day". Vimos muitas alpacas, uma das crias tinha nascido ao meio-dia. Contrario as minhas expectativas, havia apenas um pequeno grupo de senhoras a fiar e tricotar, e apenas duas bancas a vender las. Uma delas tinha la de merinos com cores que eu adorei, a "Color Bug Yarns" de Ann Ryan. Ela tem tambem uma loja Etsy, aqui.

Yesterday afternoon we went to the Triple Diamonds Alpaca Ranch where they hold the annual (since 2009) Alpaca Day Expo. We saw many alpacas and a cria that had been born at noon. There were a lot less fiber arts than I expected, only a small group of ladies spinning and knitting and only two places selling yarn. One of the booths had merino wool in lovely colors, it was Ann Ryan's "Color Bug Yarns". She also has an Etsy store here.

A escolha foi dificil, adorei todas as cores, mas decidi-me por esta meada "Inchworm Piper Sock". E tambem um esquema para fazer um mini xaile, "Wheatberries Shawlette" por Alexandra Tinsley de Dull Roar.

Choosing was difficult because I loved all colorways, but I decided on this hank "Inchworm Piper Sock". And also a pattern, "Wheatberries Shawlette" by Alexandra Tinsley for Dull Roar.
