YARN!

[oceantheorem]

So this is the small skein of alpaca yarn I bought at Winters Gone Farm in Maine (if you click on the picture, and then click on it again, it gets really big so you can read the card). It was an impulse buy, but it was worth every penny. I can't stop holding it! It'll probably have to be the edging on something else, because I only have 125 yards. (Also, ironically, when you buy a skein you get to meet the alpacas, and the only one that didn't come into the barn when we went in was Lucas.) Maybe if I add a ball of the lilac-colored Debbie Bliss alpaca I could make a pair of Mrs. Beetons?

Would the black and lilac look good together?

Anyway, I might have to start scanning other things now. I can't believe this didn't occur to me sooner. Who needs a camera when you can just scan stuff?

*drool* It's gorgeous!! And I totally think the black and lilac would look good together.

I'm glad you had a good time in Maine! You needed it.

Waffles!

I have two skeins of Sea Silk I've been too scared to knit with, they're so pretty. They have a very interesting odor to them, which is not entirely pleasant, in my opinion. A bit, well, seaweedy. Big shock, eh? I hear it goes away as you knit and block, so I have hope!
