In my creative space this week is this....
This is the most beautifully soft and squishy alpaca yarn I have ever felt, and when I have finished the scarf I get "paid" in more alpaca yarn.
I even get to meet the alpacas and see them shorn, if I spun it would be a tale of from animal to garment. Like Farmama did here.
Very exciting stuff for a knitter.
More luscious creativity here.
The other creative space is taking shape in the backyard, the long term project of cleaning up and organizing a new veggie patch plus a space for some chickens has begun. We hope to have the girls before the New Year and have at least a few herbs and such in and growing. The weather however is putting a huge spanner in the works, fairly consistent rain has turned the ground into a mud patch, if we had pigs they would be in their element.
Very exciting happenings at our place.
The scarf is looking divine!
ReplyDeleteSince I have started knitting we have decided to get ourselves a couple of sheep and a few alpacas. Now I just need to learn how to shear and spin.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh the cables look terrific! Well done on your knitting!
ReplyDeleteOooh that looks wonderful :) I just love the cable pattern to. I can't wait until I can knit well enough to try something like this :)
ReplyDeleteYour knitting is lovely and hooray for using Alpaca. I own the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm, LLC and currently have 21 Alpacas with four cria due this next summer and over half my herd are fiber/companion animals. It's highly addictive knitting, spinning, felting and weaving their fiber.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend or two that will help me out in various ways and I always pay them in my yarn or roving. Looking forward to the finished project but...I have a feeling this is one of those knits that you will saver as the yarn slips through your fingers.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
So many cables! :D
ReplyDeleteBut what of your moment? I was so confused I had to check my calendar.
