i made it to my first ever MDSW this past sunday and i have absolutely nothing to show for it. that’s right, jody (who i was so excited to meet that i failed to take a photo!) will be disappointed to hear that i bought nothing other than one pair of circular needles! sad, isn’t it?
i am still on a yarn diet, so i wasn’t intending to buy anything, but i figured that if i saw something i really loved, i’d buy it! i guess i just didn’t fall in love with anything i saw. sad face.
jess, liz, katie, and i arrived around 8:30 (yes, ass-early for a sunday morning.) and made sure to see every single booth. to say that i was tired by the end of the day is an understatement.

i spied this silly woman illegally parked and had to give her a ticket! (gosh, am i a dork or what?!)

alpaca!

the most ridiculously-dressed llama i’ve ever seen! check out those pants!

brooks farm fiber.

baby alpaca!!


i love baby, the seven-month-old alpaca! he has a nice ass, does he not? (i look ridiculous, i know.)

and finally, four and a half hours later, i got to meet jess and casey! i’m pretty sure that i was babbling and not making any sense, and i probably made an ass of myself, but i don’t care!

i think i was expecting MDSW to be bigger (perhaps it was overhyped?), but i would definitely like to go again next year! the company was great, and i’m really looking forward to meeting more ravelrers (is that a word?) and knitbloggers in the future! if you want to see more photos, check out my flickr!
and now, because i love picture-heavy posts, i’ll leave you with a few more photos. here is the beautiful yarn i received yesterday from sarah, courtesy of her new yarn club, plucky classics! i always rave about sarah’s yarn, so you should definitely go get some for yourself!

and of course, what would a post be without some photos of my “special” pups?
