The Maker Faire?!!?!

YarnHarlot

MeandSteph

I was so excited to see Elizabeth again and meet her son Nathan! Isn't he a cutie! We both brought our funky sock monkeys to say hi to Stephanie!

MeandCpurl

Cpurl and I got to say hi (she has some great pics of the Faire on her blog!)!! We took this photo as evidence for Zonda!

Rosie and the cupcake

Rosie and Louie (Tapmouse's monkey!) had a great time today! This is a cupcake mobile (crazy, huh? We thought of you Terry!).

Scary

Seriously, the Maker Faire is a bit different? A big geeky science fair, with yarn thrown in??!

These guys were there too. 104 2liters of Diet Coke and 600+ mentos create this!

Overall, a great day! I even bought a teensy weensy bit of yarn...details to follow!

Happy Knitting!

Zonda said...

Hiya! How cool was that day!! Glad you saw Cpurl again! Wild cupcakes but the gorilla checking out the monkeys was funny!

Rebel said...

OMG! That looks like so much fun! It makes me want to get some mentos & a bottle of coke!

OMG! That picture of the... er... gorillaboarwolfman holding your sock monkeys almost made me pee my pants!

And now, I suddenly want to go get some Mentos and Diet Coke...

And who amongst us does not need a souvenier??? As i have told my youngest who expects such things after dad's business trips, knitting is my business and webs is a trip...hence, YARN souveniers!!!
dazzle us Carrie!

A geeky science fair with yarn thrown in! lol! That's the perfect description of the Maker Faire!

Seriously, some of us knitters *are* rather geeky, too!-lol! I was talking to a mom I met at the park and we were saying how we could probably spend both days there ALONE and making everything they had there to do!-lol!

Is it bad that I think cpurl and the mentos coke fountain totally kick the YH's butt in terms of cool? ;-)
