Like last year there were several baby alpacas to squee over, including several that were rolling down a tiny hillock. I walked an adult alpaca called Casper (first photo below) - he was quite fiesty and kept getting tangled up with the others being walked. The next person to walk him was a small child - by that point he'd had enough, started jumping around then escaped into the middle of the field.
(thanks to Anna Marie Haworth for the non-me photos in the collage).
Last year I bought a painting of a cow (below) by Lucy Tidbury. She was at the event again this year with some gorgeous paintings, but sadly I only had enough money on me for postcards.
In honour of the alpacas, I have rounded up some awesome alpaca crafts from Etsy!
This cute embroidery pattern is from Wild Olive's shop (she also does the seasonal stitching clubs that I have failed to keep up with, her latest club is a year-long 50 States quilt). Also check out her blog which has loads of tutorials and free patterns.
Lucy Ravenscar's adorable alpaca pattern makes me wish I could crochet properly. Check out her blog for more details on her patterns.
I love this linocut alpaca card by PrintsByLucyPerry. She also has a print of the same design.
You can now pretend to be an alpaca with this cute hat pattern from WestWightAlpacas! She also makes glass alpacas.
