Comments: I bought this yarn at the Shepherd's Harvest in 2004 from the Northern Lights Handspinner's Guild booth. It is Blue Sky Alpaca yarn - 50% wool and 50% alpaca. It was handpainted by the Spinner's Guild. Proceeds from the sale of the yarn went to Heifer International. I bought two skeins so I could make a hat for myself, but when I wound them into balls, I decided to make two children's hats for charity instead. I don't think I'd wear such a colorful hat and the two skeins aren't really close enough colors. I ran out of yarn knitting the first hat, so I made the second hat 2 stitches smaller and ended up a couple of extra yards, so I don't think they were both the same length. I made both hats in one day - I don't usually like knitting with size 15 needles, but it is nice to finish up a project so quickly!

Comments: I originally started this poncho as a special request from Alexis for a pink, furry poncho. After I knit the first half, I realized it was going to be way too small for her, so I set it aside and bought her the poncho she originally saw at Limited Too. I decided to pick this poncho back up again and finish it up. I'm hoping it will fit Katie. I haven't decided whether I'm going to put the fringe on the bottom or not.
