Spiral Neckwarmer for the Brrrrr Day

Joanne is enjoying her neckwarmer on this very cold mountain day. Designed for one skein of alpaca hand dyed or natural.

Supplying Our Warmth!!!

Hanley likes to eat snow! (He isn't the only one.) The alpaca and sheep hang "in" while we are outside cleaning and filling water pails. And they say these animals are not high up on the chain!

Winter Warmth

Knitted and delivered! Shepherd's Handspun in Ray's choice of blue. Joanne's comfy cardigan-all spun from our sheep and alpacas! Michelle's special birthday-alpaca lattice work!

Merry Christmas!! Happy 2011!!

Hope all of our family and friends have a beautiful Christmas. We are grateful to all of you year round but as winter settles in, we think of you often with great joy! Thanks for being in our lives!! The sheep, alpaca, llama, pony and Scooter thank you too!

Sometime it is not what you are doing.....

But, it is when you are doing it and where you are doing it!! Peace and contentment!!! And yes, we painted our trim purple!!!!
