At the day job, the primroses and bulb plants are beginning to arrive. As I fill up the baskets and add the bows, something just doesn't seem right. Every year the winter and the snow seem to last longer, and the cold bothers me more. I don't think I would want to live anywhere else other than where I do because the four seasons are so different here, but this year the winter in the northeast has been tough.
The black slouchy hat is finally finished and is a big hit. And a perfect fit after many pattern changes. I'm starting another one in a pink champaign shade of medium weight bamoo. Perhaps an addition to the spring line for Stone and Fiber. There was almost a whole skein of alpaca left over so I whipped up a little neckwarmer for myself. The soft lusciousness of this fiber makes me think of the chocolate alpaca fleece that I purchased last October at Rhinebeck, from the Never Ending Alpaca Farm in Portville, N.Y. Mmmmmm can't wait to spin that up.
