I am starving - don't talk about lasagna! I am really glad I didn't read this thread at work today - drooling at the computer - attorneys walking by my cubicle - not good!! I love Kenny! He would look great in a kilt!
Leep - sorry to hear about your sister. Hang in there! It sometimes a year for everything to stablize after a stroke.
I have not every sent any of my alpaca out to a mill - I wash it and either card it or comb it and then spin it. I have been sorting other peoples fleece to go to the Alpaca Fiber Coop and will send some of mine too. (My payment for this is to get to keep a couple of really nice fleeces). We can then buy products to sell (socks, gloves, scarves, etc.) The best of my fleece I do myself for me - I have bags of fleece waiting to be processed, but unfortunatly I still have to work the day job! I hope my sister and I can set up a farm store next year and sell some yarn and carded fleece. With colder weather coming I will hopefully be able to spend some time spinning and make the squares for the next swap out of my handspun alpaca.
I am now going to hook - 4 more squares to do! I usually hook on the rapid transit on the way to and from work, but the last couple of days I have had to stand up in a really crowded train - I will have to figure out a way to hook standing up!!!!
Take care!
Bonnie
p.s. I wish I had time to make some of those beautiful spiders!
