AlpacaSo, where do you all think I spent my day today?

 Maybe, just maybe, Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival.

 Yes, I made a few new friends.  But, really, who wouldn’t want to take this cutie home with them?

 The obvious answer there is, of course, Mike.  Heh.  But he did come home with a nice pair of sheepskin slippers, and a pen with almost as many functions as a Swiss Army Knife.

 Myself?  I came home with sore feet and two utterly gorgeous hanks of yarn from Tess’ Designer Yarns.  I think the two colorways I got are Confetti and Spring Garden, but I could be wrong.  I just know they’re incredibly lovely, and may never actually be knit.  As I tried explaining to Mike, not all yarn is for knitting.  Some is for being lovely and making you happy just existing.  No pictures at the moment, but I’ll get them later.Alpaca

 I do wish I had taken more pictures.  I only took three, and one didn’t turn out on my little cameraphone.  But it was just overwhelming!  We found the fairgrounds, saw the number of cars parked, and Mike’s first words were "Holy SHIT."  He didn’t think there were that many fiber people out there.

 The other picture that turned out is that cutie’s stallmate.
