Inspiration


My friend Susan found out that we had alpacas and was interested in taking a look at our yarn. She bought some of the most beautiful colors that we have and just sent this picture as an idea for a project.
I am first in awe of anyone who can knit mittens! Second, I love the pattern name - Deep in the Forrest. These should be really beautiful with alpaca fiber and Susan is so talented.
Susan introduced us to ravelry.com. It is a networking site for fiber artists and it will be a great source of pattern ideas (ok, that is an aspirational goal) and a way to store information about fiber, project details, and future project ideas. A very cool resource. Still looking forward to learning spinning and knitting...
