I am just now planning my first sweater with zero ease because of the stretch I'm anticipating in the cotton. The pattern would be welcome! Thanks for the offer.

Life is rather like a circle, isn't it? When we are young, we think nothing of striking up new friendships with strangers. My daughter has met someone and two minutes later calls her "my best friend." Then we go through a period of avoiding meeting strangers. We'd die before inviting ourselves to someone else's spin-out. Too self conscious and self-absorbed. But at some point, we move past that awkward stage and into a place where we can make new friends with common interests as easily as we did at the playground. We can even play in the rain and share our clothes! Glad for you and your new fiber buddies. And your new yarn is wonderful. Sounds like a fun day! Life is rather like a circle, isn’t it?

Alpacas were nasty, spitting creatures? Are you sure you're not thinking of llamas? All the alpacas I have met seem to me to be shy, somewhat sweet creatures. Glad you liked the yarn. You never know, it could end up being gifted to you. Then the question of what to do with it is passed on to you.... (tee hee) Really? Alpacas were nasty, spitting creatures?

And how excellent to find two sisters in business together. What a splendid idea! I especially admire people who deal with alpacas. In my travels in Bolivia and Peru, I came to know them as nasty, spitting creatures. They didn't seem easy to "train" either. Beautiful skein of mohair/wool blend!
