Merry Christmas.
Happy New Year.
Boy, I’m glad that’s over...
I’ll mention a few holiday-ish things real quick...
1. Santa brought me a purdy new knitting bag... well, its not really a knitting bag but that’s what I wanted it for. There’s 2 whole knitting projects, a notebook, scissors, pencils, a calculator, darning needles, keys, a cell phone, a wallet, a day planner, my library card, and a tampon in there. And there’s still room!
2. Anybody who has known me for more than 5 minutes will know that our entire household runs on Mac. We are all now happily running Leopard... Santa rocks!
Spaces and Cover Flow and Time Machine.. oh my!
Over our holiday vacation...
3. I found out that there is a small alpaca farm a few miles from us. Yes, I have already been there... took me about 3.2 seconds to find it and firmly plant myself on their doorstep.
Exhibit A:
Unfortunately, the weather was horrible the day we were there. Still, the wonderful ladies at MoBe Alpacas were some of the nicest you’ll ever meet. The whole crew got to go to the barn to feed and fondle the fuzzy critters. I got to ask lots of questions and take lots of terrible pictures. The good news is I’ll be going back again soon to get good pictures and some home-grown fiber! More on that another day.
So now that the holiday mess festivities are over and its a shiny new year I feel its time to get back down to business. Lots of good things are brewing and hopefully this year will be a productive one. The move this past year really sucked up a lot of time and energy so I’m looking forward to getting back in a good groove.
I’m working on sort of a tutorial-post on seaming sweaters and especially how to sew in a set-in sleeve successfully. I should have it posted in the next day or so. Stay tuned!
Happy New Year Marie!! Can't wait to visit you and your new surroundings. Give me a call!!

How cool to have an aplaca farm so near by -- does that mean you have access to ultra soft alpaca for spinning up? Lucky you.
Love the hat on your snowman!
What an awesome knitting bag you got. Cool Santa indeed.

Looking forward to the tutorials as I have a sweater waiting for its sleeves.

I can't wait for the tutorials. I just finished knitting my first sweater and I am nervous about sewing in the sleeves and seaming it up.
