Have you ever spent the day with a bunch of alpacas? I did on Saturday and it was wonderful.
Oh, there were friends there, too, and it was great to see them and spin with them. But it was the alpacas that inspired me to keep taking pictures.
Isn’t that little girl the cutest? Sharon picked her up and carried her around for a bit and it was so sweet. Sharon also picked up a chicken but that was a little less sweet. Just saying.
In case it’s not obvious, I was at the Parker River Alpaca Farm for a day of spinning. It was so relaxing. Well, except for Sharon picking up the chicken.
As you can see, there was a bit of shopping, too. Courtesy of Kim and her new gorgeous BFL rovings. The alpacas clearly have excellent taste. We all must, too, since I think we all took home at least one of those braids. Ahem.
Who are you looking at? You would have shopped too!

OMG! You guys always hit the coolest places.
Manise Said,
It was fun! Much spinning, knitting and gales of laughter. Great seeing you all and the ‘pacas. Esp the cutie in the last picture trying to steal the watermelon!
Karen Said,
You have the most fun, really. Those alpaca are too cute for words. Their faces are so expressive.
Kirsten Said,
Oh it sounds like so much fun!!! I know I would’ve brought home one or two of Kim’s rovings!

Sounds like my kind of day!
Ruth Said,
I’m so sorry I missed it.
margene Said,
You got some of Kim’s roving!? Cool, very cool, but I’m a little on the envious side. Cute ‘pacas!
Kim Said,
It WAS fun, wasn’t it? If I could have snuck one of those babies in my car, I surely would have….they are so sweet!
Umm…recipe for corn salad? That was scrumptious!!

Alpacas sure are cute! Are they friendly, too?
Jessica Said,
They are just so darn cute! Sounds like a very good time.
Knitnana Said,
They are the cutest critters. I’d pick one up, too…and while I like chickens? No. Don’t think I’d pick one of them up.
What a great way to spend a Saturday!

I just love alpacas! They have the sweetest little faces! I may have to take up spinning and join up on these great adventures you all are having!!!!

I had planned to go, but had to cancel at the last minute – Pooh! It was a perfect day for it; I”m glad you had a good time.

So much sweeter than sheep. Smarter too (really, they would have to be). What a fun day!

I would be scared to pick up a chicken. Glad you had fun!

Sounds like a fantastic day, and what wonderful faces!
Sarah Said,
That looks like such fun. C’mon, you cannot tease with those tables of colors and not show which followed you home.
Wool Winder Said,
Now that sounds like fun, especially the fiber shopping part.
Cookie Said,
What exactly is so wrong with holding a chicken?
Rocky Moreno Said,
Ahh, they look so cute! I would love to spend a day at an Alpaca farm.
Julia Said,
So cool! Clearly, I need to move to New England!
deb Said,
It looks the alpaces are saying “Look – this one is me, and this one is me … Oh and look, this one is you!” Even though I know you said the braids were all BFL….
