Crafty

A few weeks ago Fred and I made our annual fall trip to Hood River to visit the farms on the fruit loop. We bought lots of apples, pears, and cider and visited an alpaca farm. They had some really cute babies, and all of the bigger alpacas looked funny because they'd been shorn recently.


They have a yarn store at the farm, and I got some great alpaca yarn to make a warm winter hat.



I'm happy with how it turned out, and I'm hoping it's cool enough to wear it tonight when Fred and I go to a corn maze with some of my coworkers. I don't know if anyone who reads this blog knits, but if you want to give this hat a try, I modified the pattern for the hat found here.

Erica, you're my hero.
Can you please invite me over some day i'm not working to cook a ton of food together, and then knit while we watch a movie or something? I'd be ever so indebted to you for getting me off my butt and doing something. :)
