New Project: To the Forest!

mossy trees on Lopez Island

I am very excited!

If you are a "tree person" like me, check out my new blog called "To the Forest!"

It combines my personal love of trees with my belief that being with and around trees can support healing and wellness.

I also have plans in the works for combining my love for crochet and fiber art and my deep love for trees and the forest.

Oh yes....and my Etsy shop is temporarily closed while I revise some of the items and offerings in my shop.

On my latest forest trip, I wore one of my favorite scarves I made out of 100% baby alpaca yarn. The scarf is perfectly soft and warm for cool mornings in the damp northwest forest.

Hope to see you in the forest!

Crazy for Alpacas

Last month, my mom (who, btw, is an amazing, accomplished knitter) made a visit to Island Alpacas on Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vinyard. I am so jealous! These creatures are so adorable and, and the fiber they produce is so ridiculously soft.

My mom took some photos of the alpacas on the farm:

So cute! Babies!

I am really excited to have found some awesome superfine baby alpaca yarn to create the ultimate luxury cowl neck warmer. It makes perfect sense the Incans referred to their fleece as "The Fiber of the Gods," because the yarn is so soft and light to touch, I just want it around my neck all day long.
This cowl neck warmer is made from superfine baby alpaca yarn. Crazy soft!
