For some strange reason, this really appealed to me, so I’m really going to go for it. I’ve already posted two days in a row, how hard could it really be? (kidding!) Anyway, I’ve been mulling it over all day so I figured I should just go ahead and make it official. Wish me luck everyone!

I just stopped by to brush a few cobwebs away. Here’s a quick update:
1. I finished the Knucks, although not in time for Rhinebeck. Which was totally okay because it was way too hot for fingerless gloves at Rhinebeck anyway.
I love this colorway.
2. I know some of you (like me) are into this sort of thing (you perverts!), so here is a picture of the inside:
I seriously considered weaving the ends into the knit side so I could wear them with the purl side out.
3. After I finished the Knucks, I cast on for a pair of Felted Clogs. I’ve finished one clog, but seem to have second slipper syndrome and have been spending a lot of time fantasizing about working on something different.
4. Did I mention I went to Rhinebeck? I didn’t buy much, just this:
and a little bit of spinning fiber. Any wonder I am feeling a little bit of second slipper syndrome?
5. NaNoWriMo is looming (heh heh heh). I have no idea what I’m going to write about. No characters, no plot, no nothing. This should be interesting.
How’ve you been?
Martha’s Vineyard Post
So, my in-laws invited us to share some of their vacation with them in Martha’s Vineyard.
But you’re not here for family vacation photos! You’re here for the alpacas! Unfortunately my camera had gone missing by this point, so I only got some pictures with my cell phone. And not all the pictures I should have gotten either. :-(
I really enjoyed the alpaca farm, even though our nav system took us there by the most backroady backroads imaginable.
(insert picture of a one lane dirt road in the woods here)
We arrived just in time to watch the alpacas eat their lunch. So cute!
Even my hubs had a good time. He asked lots of questions about alpaca keeping. I was adamant that we may NOT bring an alpaca home, even though they are sweet and adorable.
There were babies. And mamas.
(insert picture of the alpaca farmer, a charming Frenchman, holding up one of the babies for me to pet)
One baby was less than 24 hours old.
(imagine a picture of a sleepy, wee, still damp baby alpaca and his overly protective mama)
Souvenirs were procured (click to embiggen).
So, if you are ever able to make it up to Martha’s Vineyard, be sure to check out Island Alpacas. It’s well worth the drive, even if you get lost on the back roads.
