Thankgoodness for the Youth....

Well, in two seconds my son was able to check my camera and has me back up and running with uploading. Here are the two blankets I told you about, the yellow/blue is for a baby boy due in October and the other is the first of four blankets (two completed, two more to go) I made for our home. It's 100% mohair, with flecks of hand paint, I don't find it itchy at all but I know some people put mohair on the bottom of their list. I'm planning mohair, cotton, alpaca, wool blankets for the house, for starters anyway....


Here is a picture of a future Christmas present (can't say for whom in case someone is reading this). A wee bit pricy but the way I look at yarn is like this; I'm spending the minutes and hours and weeks of my life knitting a project, why would I want to waste the most precious thing as time, something none of us can ever get back, no do overs on time.....spending it with acrylic or any other affordable man-made product? I will never own an alpaca, but to hold the fibers, knit, smell the wet fabric while it's being blocked, in my mind it's heaven. So, I buy what's beautiful and help keep the farmers in business, I may die poor, but know that I was darn happy while I was knitting...

Have a great evening, thanks for reading my blog.
