Sheep!!!!

I went to the lovely and wonderful Sheep and Wool Festival in Howard County, MD on Saturday. I pet a sheep, I bought some yarn, I decided I wanted to keep an alpaca as a pet, Phil reminded me that a one bedroom flat is not the best place for a farm animal, I was in sad agreement, and I cheered myself up by purchasing yet more yarn. I'll post some pics soon. The stuff I bought was amazing. I tried to convince myself that it will work for my project which requires 880 yards of worsted wool, even though I only bought 800 yards of sport weight wool....hmmm....I guess the Yarn Harlot is right and Denial is not just a river in Eygpt.

ohhh how strange that you mention this, i've had it on my mind that i want to have alpacas someday... both for their delicious yarn and the reduction in grass mowing.

i didn't know you knitted, either. i do to, but i only ever learned how to knit scarves, and they usually end up sitting for a long time before i get around to finishing them...

but i really wish i knew how to knit gloves. oh well.
