(aka Habu Mohair Sweater Kit 110)
The knitted fabric, from what seems like a thread with a bit of fuzz factor, is light and dreamy.
I'm reminded of dessert.

Cabin Time
Near the headwaters of the Colorado River, the family cabin is situated alongside (these belong to the neighbours, theirs is farther up but with many more trees surrounding and harder to get a picture)
The beautiful state flower, the Columbine, is out in full force.
In the neighbouring town of Granby, there's an alpaca farm and mill, what unbelievable luck.
There are many friendly faces, close to two hundred, these guys have been shorn recently:
Of course my favourite kind of memento to take home from a trip - handpainted goodness fresh from the farm.

Three pairs
of socks are done! Yay!
Based on the Blueberry Waffles Sock, my version uses a fingering weight.
Spring Cable Socks were fun, I cabled without a cable needle to make these go a bit faster:
And finally I made Monkey, they waited so long in my queue, but it was worth it. I surprised myself by memorising the lace on this pattern, and combined with the feel of this delicious yarn in my hands, I completely enjoyed myself every minute of knitting these socks.
THIS is satisfaction.
