spinning

I've only been spinning plain, un-dyed fiber since I got my wheel last December.  I finally decided to splurge on something pretty.  

I found this hand painted BFL roving on etsy.com from this seller:

It is spinning up so nice and is lovely to work with.  I can't wait to see it finished!

4h fair

Every year there is a 4H fair right in the park behind my house.  I always want to go, just to see the alpacas.

I can't help it but I just LOVE these animals!

I mean, how cute are they?  Check out the white ones haircut!

Alpacas are super cute and pretty friendly.  They don't like to be touched on top of the head so if you try to pet one touch them on their neck.  Their fleece is really soft and wonderful...

Knitting with alpaca yarn is really nice and makes a very warm garment.  It's one of my favorites.

See you next year you little cuties!!!
