Oooh I love alpaca fur, that sounds beautiful. I'd love to move to the country some day and raise those critters.
I've started quilting (well, chosen and prepared the fabric for) crib bumbers for my first born. I'm having a daughter, Stella Mary, in February and would be in a quilting and knitting fury if I didn't have so much freelance work to do! :) And, of course, the constant distraction of FR... ;)
LOVE your screen name. :)
I love alpaca fur as well, but this is even softer as it is baby alpaca. Jr G is a tall thin man, but I am making this smallish for him to allow for stretching.
You don't want to raise alpacas unless you have a bundle of money. There is a farm near me and I hear about how much they spend with the local vet!
Congratulations! What a beautiful name! You will be busy in more ways than one.
Congratulations! More reasons for doing handwork, and less time. LOL
My best wishes for you all. :-)
