Yarn goodness

My alpaca/angora yarn...isn't it pretty? You really can't tell how soft it is with my poor photographic abilities. But trust me...it's soooooo soft.




And a BIG THANK YOU to my secret pal! A fabulous package was waiting for me when I got home from my crappy day at work today. I love it! I can't wait to sit down and get to learning to knit. And soft yummy purple yarn...my favorite color...thank you! (And thank you for the virtual hugs...I appreciate it)

ROFL I was going to ask the same thing! I'm not too crafty, so maybe 'pitch' is a term?
Either way, lovely yarn! :-)

Stitch N' Bitch is one of my all time favorite books on knitting! Hope you find it as engaging and helpful as I did when re-learning to knit.

The patterns in it rock too... very different. The second book Stitch N' Bitch Nation is equally as good.

*swoon* on the Alpaca.

If you want a good site for knitting patterns (all free) www.knitty.com is really great.

I'll dish knitting w/ you anytime too!

It's 80% alpaca, 20% angora.
