My booty from Convergence 2012

I didn't get to attend Convergence but since it was in Long Beach I had to go!  Robert was sweet and tolerated me and a little shopping.   Now what to make? hmmm...

Alpacas hum

Did you know that? Well I didn't! Until Riley & I took a field trip out to visit Windy Hill Alpaca ranch. Apparently it's the largest Alpaca ranch in the state and it is mere 20 minute drive from my home.

This must be why I've been gifted (yes I used that word) with so many beautiful alpaca fleeces in the last year, they are in abundance and some of these people have no idea what to do with them.
Good thing I know what to do with the stuff!

One of these days I'm going to get my own alpaca but I want it to live in my yard, I don't want to drive to visit it, it won't know me! I will name it Gandhi.

Lilia's Mitts

My friend Tonantzin commissioned these fingerless mitts as a Christmas gift for her mother Lilia.
The fiber is 100% angora that I spun from my bunny Midnight.
I'm thrilled with the look of the gloves and they are unbelievably soft.
