That is hilarious! My husband (then boyfriend) were going on a minibreak and when i was looking for a B&B, one had Alpaca's! My husband and I were texting and I was like "they have Alpaca's" his response simply -"Book it!" it's a continual joke with us!

The alpaca is adorable and I love to listen to Adele, but that blue coat is stunningly GORGEOUS!!

Gertie I can't wait for your book to come out. You communicate so clearly and precisely. I also like the way you approach projects from the simple to the complicated in a very non-intimidating way. Thanks for your blog...I really look forward to your posts.

Hahahahahahaha! Snort!
OMG, you slay me!

I love alpaca, and I would love to meet an alpaca. They are really beautiful. Carbon is quite the guy!

As a knitter, I believe it is a crime or at least a crying shame, if you did not get some of that yummy alpaca yarn!

Carbon is just lovely; fabulous name!

I am, quite frankly, astonished that you didn't come home with any of the that fantabulous Alpaca fabric?!?!

ALPACA. How delightful! I've never gotten to meet one (how strange!), but I do have a couple ounces of huacaya alpaca fiber to spin up into delicious yarn. Just finding *that* almost made my brain implode with happiness. So ssssoft, precious.

Those photos, they are the *best*.

They're adorable! I also like that crazy humming sound that they make! I saw tons of them this year at the Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival in the Hudson Valley-- you and Jeff should check it out sometime if you have a chance! You can play with all kinds of alpacas, sheep, and goats!

Alpacas are so cute -- especially the babies and their fur is so soft. I love knitting with it.

I LOVE THEM! My parents have one named Denzel.

I love alpacas too... It's the eyes and the eyelashes that pull you in, right? Let me know if you need any knitting patterns for the alpaca yarn! :D

2011-12-01T16:52:31.786-05:00

Alpacas are such funky critters, you've got to love them (although I can't think why that might not have come up in conversation before... :oD )

Glad you had a wonderful break and got to meet alpacas. they are wonderful animals and being a knitter, I have an appreciation of the beautiful soft yarn we get from them.

Oh I love Carbon! He is adorable. So is polkaspot from the Fabulous Beekman Boys! I love all types of animals. I've secretly been gathering information on the ins and outs of raising angora goats. They are the ones that mohair comes from. I have 13 acres - that's enough for some goats and llamas!

2011-12-01T14:43:51.461-05:00

OMG. Carbon is so adorable!!!! he's so fuzzy too! I bet the alpaca fabric is just divine!!

Carbon is a stunning animal! You look so happy to be in the photos with him, that you gave me a *much* needed smile :) Thank you.

I love camelids too! I have been obsessed with camels since I went on a camel safari in India in 2006, your right their eyes are so intriguing...Your trip sounds so peaceful and well deserved. Thanks for sharing.

I've booked myself on a one day workshop for knitting and felting at an alpaca farm (Toft Alpaca) in the UK in March. I'm very excited. The first part of the day will be meeting the alpacas. :)

Aww, I love alpacas! My dad raises them on his farm. Just watch out for "Berserk Male Syndrome!" (it's real- Google it!).

2011-12-01T12:29:30.439-05:00

aaah the allure of the Alpaca... I think they might just be the best animal ever. The epitome of evolution: adorable and useful, but never heard of alpaca meat! My 3 year old boy has been obsessed with alpaca's since his first trip to the zoo and a lifelong goal of mine is to have my own flock! I'm this close to persuading my Dad who lives in the country that it's a great idea!

And you gotta love embroidery humor.

Nice post!
