About a month ago Ev handed me a couple of skeins of his bulky alpaca yarn from Everest (one of their male alpacas – he has the softest fiber! This yarn is actually a bit lighter than what shows) and asked me if I could knit him a hat and I said of course, he’s such a sweetie how could I not! My son told him it didn’t have to be fancy it was just to stay warm during our very cold winters for feeding the alpaca but I disagree, if it’s a fancy yarn it needs to be a fancy hat :P. This is the paid for pattern for bulky yarn I chose. I got the yarn wound into a ball and am ready to start knitting it. Was going to start it today but got distracted and will start it tomorrow.
This coming Saturday I will be at the farm spinning because it’s Alpaca Days for all the local alpaca farms. Suppose to rain but my son will have me set up in the garage so my wheel and I don’t get wet. So glad it’s cooled down, this summer was hot and oppressively humid!!!
My hay fever has started, UGH! Hope everyone is doing well!

I would if I could, gotta share the cooler temps right? We have some rain storms passing through right now, a blessing for sure. But I have to get out in them sometime today to go to the grocery store for something I forget to get yesterday and that is what happens when I don’t take a list with me to the store lol.
I’ll share pictures of the hat as it progresses.

The yarn looks sooo wonderful, and definitely deserves a fancy hat to be knit from it! 🙂 Looking forward to seeing the hat.
