Knitting Alpaca


I've been knitting a lot.  I love homemade Christmas gifts and homemade birthday gifts.  I try to keep things simple and meaningful.

My youngest daughter Miriam turned 19 yesterday and so I made her fingerless mitts and a cowl.



The mitts were knitted with drop spindle, hand spun alpaca.  It was spun in Peru and it was like knitting with butter, so soft.  I love this pattern.  It is simple and fairly quick.


Thank you Staci for a simple tutorial too!  And for the original designer, Courtney, at http://pinkbrutus.com/.

Now if I can track down some fibre from these😍
