After searching for a couple of years, we finally found our future alpaca ranch! The perfect piece of land to embrace the life of voluntary simplicity.

Fashion Designer Julie Nash uses alpaca yarn almost exclusively for her 1970′s style knit dresses and ponchos. See a slideshow of her collection at Fashion Week El Paseo on March 25.
So, Easter is tomorrow so it’s a little late for Easter Knitting patterns but I plan to get an early start next year! This year I purchased a bead felting kit from Alpaca Meadows on Etsy, which will also make cute felted Easter Eggs. I didn’t get a chance to make them this year as I was consumed with knitting baby hats and dishcloths but next year, I want to make an Easter basket on my knifty knitter and add felted eggs to it. If I get really ambitious, I’ll try and knit one for each of the grandkids.
I’m finally getting around to making my first felted bowl. I found a list of links to free felted bowl patterns I wanted to share, plus some others that aren’t free but don’t cost much. I’m turning minebowl into an Easter basket, complete with felted eggs.
I used this same easy, lacy knitted scarf pattern for several different scarves and got an entirely different look for each one. Try this free knitted scarf pattern with any type of yarn or any size knitting needles and see what you come up with.
Here’s my newest knifty knitter slouch hat made with Sensations Angel hair yarn. I’m making this one a little different than my original knitted pattern.
