Wonderwoolin'

Today I went to Wonderwool, which is essentially a wool festival/shopping extravaganza.  It was fun to see how huuuuge an industry and culture surrounds all things wollen and woolly.  My favourite part was meeting an alpaca I really wanted to take home with me!  He was lovely (photo below).  The friend I went with is a much better and expert knitter/crocheter than I am (by a long way!), but I have really enjoyed learning the basics, and want to improve (dramatically) this year.  I have some really pretty yarn to experiment with, so I should get moving with that.

Anyway, this event is ideal for anyone with a crafty interest in all things knitting, crochet, felting, sheepy, spinning, buttons and everything in between.  Personally, I also enjoyed the brownies and perry I purchased.  But that's just the kind of person I am.  Brownies and Ralph's perry make me happy.

Any of you out there yarn lovers?!

Hope your weekend is going swimmingly.  

Pretty colours

This is actually a woven wool coffin

I don't know what this is...which is why I photographed it without a second thought.  Of course.

I wanted to take this cut guy home

Lethal weapon masquerading as a crochet hook. 

This was massive in size.  Like, a good metre long.

Purely for my name...
