Soft

The light
is soft in the Surprise Lilies

and the cone flowers.



The light seems to bounce about in the zinnias



and the bee balm.




The Gold Finches have a light of their own.




I have finished knitting my first yarn from Flora,
the Paco-Vicuna, I visited last month.



I designed a simple garter stitch scarf for my friend.
The bow detail is the tail from when I casted on my first stitches.
I am knitting another Flora scarf for me.
I once again will be knitting the simple plain stitch.
I am interesting in showing Flora's fiber
not how cleaver I am with the knitting needles!
The garter stitch scarves will hold up nicely.



The light seems to bounce from the yarn.
The yarn so soft.
When I walk this Autumn I will be warmed by Flora.
I will be connected with my friend in England.

Paco-Vicunas

Over the weekend we visited a Paco-Vicuna Ranch.
I was looking for fiber.
I found heaven.




This is Athena.
She is a premier plus animal with a beautiful fleece.
I shall be getting some of her next shearing.


A new cria, Blaze, only three weeks old.




So cute and soft.



I bought 4.5 oz of Flora's yarn.


This will get me started.



I bought the fingerling weight.
Exquisite yarn for a new knitter.


I have partnered with Hickory Ridge Farms.





I only want to knit Paco-Vicuna wool.
It is like knitting with cloud fiber.
It is soft.
It is devine.
