Beth is the gal I have been sending stuff to in the SP4 program. She is a nut! She keeps me laughing. Beth has also been VERY tolerant of my obscure clues so I figured the least I could do is let her know that she found my site! Once Beth finds me (her gift with the final clues is in transit) I'll post a link to her site. She, like me, fell head over heels in love with alpacas and promptly got a spinning wheel. Check out her archives.
Beth, Wendy and Anne are responsible for me purchasing a wheel. I bought an Ashford Traditional. It is still in its box, but in the BF's basement. I'll assemble it this summer. There is too much to do with the move and work.
Now here is a shocker. I have been knitting and sewing. Check it out! The pink things are sachets filled with rose buds that I have been 'brewing' in rose oil. The blue is the chevron top from the latest Rebbecca. I went to Chicago last week and got started on it on the plane. The purse that my SP4 made for me was perfect knitting bag! Here is a close up of the top - I love the way it's turning out!
I'd like to have the top done by June 8. It'll be tough - most of the moving happens in May and there are two more work trips but I'd love to wear it when I go to Palm Springs.
Bye Beth!
Hey! Sewing too! WOW!! I love the sachet idea! Try it with lavender too. I've planted a bunch of lavender around the garden to make sachets for Christmas! So when are you getting your Alpaca Farm?? :>
Have fun! mb

Marie, one of Beth's gifts is a 1/2 knitted square filled with lavendar! I didn't take a picture but expect that Beth will. I bought the petals from the Atlantic Spice Company for a very reasonable price. They have oils and herbs and even catnip for Kung Fu Kitty!
