Who's going to buy me an Alpaca??

So....Me, Conor and my Dad went to Topsfield Fair the other day... and I've decided... I need an Alpaca (or 2)... isn't he just the cutest thing. They remind me an awful lot of my poodle, I'm not sure why though, must be the hair do!

So, I drag my son and Dad into the craftsy building (there are quilts, knitting, art and more) and what do I see... but a first place ribbon on one of my customers sweaters! Good job Amy!! It's not the best picture... they had it all fenced off so I couldn't display it how I thought it shoud be displayed... tight security at the fair! It is the fair isle sweater from Stitch and Bitch Nation.

Go Red Sox!

So... not everyone knows this about me... I'm a huge Red Sox fan! I love to go to games at Fenway and watch every game on TV... and I have to say this gives me a lot of great knitting time! So Conor and I went to the Rally on Monday in Government Square in Boston. This was definitely more for me than for Conor! I definitely hear alot of "When are we leaving?" "Is it over yet?" But you know what... I had a great time! And when he gets older he'll remember that we went and it will be a great mother son bonding memory... I hope.

Let's see... for knitting news... While watching games and attending rally's I've been working on the Clapotis using Alpaca Sox in Hot Pink. This is the perfect traveling project... I think I'm about 75% done (I did mine a little narrower than the pattern called for), I'll have to get a picture up of it soon!
