Take a look when you get a chance! My photos are on "Random" setting so you'll have to watch through all my knitting, too, to see the alpaca.

I've mastered the dishcloth, shawls, scarves, etc. that don't have too many complicated instructions. I'm actually going to try Intarsia. I think I can do just a simple knit, purl dishcloth. Thanks for talking to me.

I have recently begun knitting an afghan with it myself and had some questions for you. I notice it seems to shed a lot --I am knitting with hollyberry, the new lovely red shade, and I was wearing stone colored chinos and soon found myself covered with little red fibers. In your experience, does the finished afghan shed? Also, I guess I had different expectations of what the fiber itself would be like, and I find the "hairy" nature of the fiber and the inconsistency of the thickness messy to work with. I have to look carefully while I knit to make sure I am catching the whole stitch. Maybe I am just a neatnik and I could get used to this, because the knit fabric is soft and comfy. But sometimes the "messy" nature of the fiber bugs me. What is your take on knitting with Suri Dream?

You know I will also be turning 50 this year. Not sure how to take it. Though my sister wants to stay at 32 until she gets it right. I suggested she just move on. Enjoyed looking at your photos. Have a great knitty day.
