I got so cable-happy I went on to make this with the yarn left from the wristwrmers. (Yes, will post photos asap)
In other news, we just finished shearing the llamas this morning. They look so dashing (actually, Llannie looks like an alpaca/standard poodle cross, since he had so many burrs in his fleece, and required a more extensive cut, but Graty looks quite handsome) and we can all welcome spring without excess wooliness.
I promise to post pictures of they boys in their winter coats, shearing in-progress, and after pics.
Plus, I can now get to carding and spinning big piles of fresh, fluffy fleece!

- "One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it--it was the black kitten's fault entirely." (L. Carroll, Through the Looking Glass) I'm Yankee-Born and Southern-Raised, which makes me kind of Southern Gothic (in the old literary sense of the word). After 15 years in the Big Apple, I spent 4 years on a farm in Michigan raising chickens and llamas and learning to spin, knit, and needle-felt. Now I'm back home in NYC with my much-beloved spouse and one crazy tortiseshell cat. You can also find me on Ravelry.com as okitten.

Hi! As a fellow shadow artist turned needle felter turned new knitter, I wanted to say hello after reading your story on Knitty. Nice to see that you progressed past the rectangle. Someday, perhaps, I'll follow in your footsteps!
