Cold weather brings warm knits. Cheers to Jo Storie for this chic little turban knit pattern (about 2/3 complete). I could make a dozen! And cheers to my favorite little alpaca farm just outside my hometown. The owner of a tractor supply store has 17 alpacas and though most people go in looking for large equipment, to me this is "the alpaca store" and I promptly clean them out. I spun two skeins last winter and put aside for a rainy day. I had been watching Ms. Storie's pattern for a while and decided that rainy day had come! It's far too cold to wait and I'm far to stubborn to buy one when I can make it! . This fall I got to watch the sheering of his small farm, and every time I watch them I am filled with immense gratitude for fiber farmers and those blessed creatures themselves. I wished this farm was on IG (he's nearing retirement) so I will extend my cheer to fiber farmers everywhere for making our hearts go pitter-patter and keeping us warm and fashionable! - . It's lovely when all hands making come together. You are loved! - . . . #supportsmallbusiness #handmade #supporthandmade #localfarms #upstateny #upstatefarms #fiberfarm #alpaca #mohair #handknit #jostorie #jostorieknits #naturalcolor #textileart #spinnersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #knit #onmyneedles #turbanknit #myhandsmaking #coldweather #whatimwearing #wiw #winterhat #accessories #madeinny #fiberfolk
