I went to STITCHES West 2011 with my friend today. We volunteered at Alpaca Direct with a group of really nice people.

Met some nice people from the industry:

Jess, co-founder of Ravelry

Cliff from Skacel

And ogled at some really beautiful pieces created to work with fiber, like these spindles. They *almost* make me want to learn how to spin yarn...
