Hedgerow Mitts

The Knitters Review has a nice free pattern in this week's review. You can see it here.

Clara says: "To kick off the vacation schedule, here's a fantastic fingerless mitts adaptation of Jane's Hedgerows Socks pattern, fittingly called Hedgerow Mitts. Designed by longtime KR member Amy Ripton, it uses the hand-dyed yarns from Spirit Trail Fiberworks. Quick and satisfying, the pattern is perfect for warm-weather knitting."

Free Press article: Alpaca shearing

Did you see today's Mankato Free Press article about the Sibley Park Alpacas that received their annual haircut?

There are great pictures here.

Each animal had 7 to 8 pounds of yummy alpaca fleece that the shearer received for his shearing services.
