Stitches West 2010

Tina and I went on an adventure Saturday and flew down to Stitches West in Santa Clara, CA. It made for a long day trip, but it was definitely packed with delicious fiber-y goodness. There were no photos or videos allowed inside the convention center, but we were able to see some kind of commotion out on the street as we approached the show.

We couldn't quite make out what was going on, and when we crossed the street...

Fuzzy fiber ambassadors!

One of the ladies handling the alpacas said that the little brown guy was only 4 months old! I'm such a sucker for them, and these two were so petite I could almost convince myself that my yard is big enough for one. :)

Comment by Alison on March 1, 2010 at 2:19pm: Overflowing! And not just yarn, either. I found some incredible 1920's Chinese buttons at this fantastic booth. I'll have to take a picture, they're so cheerful and ready to dress up a cute knit sweater.
