School has been kicking my butt and taking up all my time...(So I really shouldn't be here today either!)
Anyhoo...I asked a student in one of my classes to be a sign language interpreter for me in another class presentation.
I told her I was grateful and asked if there was anything I could for her in return. She said no, it was her pleasure. So, I asked her favorite color . . . pink.
Fortunately I had some baby pink acryllic stuff and launched into an Irish Hiking Scarf. I finished it and gave it to her two days after she interpreted for me.
Well, as it happens, someone saw me knitting that and asked for one for himself in blue. And, as it was his birthday coming up, I ordered some baby alpaca and set to it for him.
Ooo dah lolly, what a pleasure it is to work with alpaca after having all that acrylic stuff running through my fingers for the last few months.
Same pattern, only 54 stitches (four cabled columns)instead of 42 stitches (three cabled columns).
Blue (the cat) steps in to knit while I'm doing homework.

Step away from the nasty acrylic!!!
I can't! I still have so much left.
Ugh. Must get rid of it.
I did just get a fun ski-mask pattern in the e-mail.
Let's see where that leads me.
I bet Eric could hook you up with some llama!! Close enough right?
