It looks great. You will be busy with your spinning. I've enjoyed seeing your spinning and also Lucy In the Sky and when I heard that my LYS was running a one day spinning workshop I signed up immediately! I'm looking forward to learning how its all done - you get your own drop spindle I think to take home (first thing is to learn what one of them is lol!)

We're ...Matt and I are loving the box you made! We're very jealous of all the great classes you can take where you live. I'm very very envious of the spinning class as well, would love to have my own spinning wheel one day! I was looking on some youtube videos and it looks so much fun! I'm sure it takes a lot of time to really get good at it, but I'm sure I would have the patience!<br />And OMG. I LOVE alpaca! I just finished knitting an enormous shawl made out of fingering weight alpaca. I've made more projects with alpaca and it's one of my favorite yarns, so so soft! How crazy awesome that you have so much of it, what a dream!!! Lovely blog post again, your pictures are beautiful! I see you know how to work your DSLR very well! Have a lovely weekend!!! <br />Dennis (and Matt says hi!)Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478899886369499155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-85904289337066633032012-03-02T10:35:56.876-08:002012-03-02T10:35:56.876-08:00Your basket is beautiful Teresa..I do enjoy visiti...Your basket is beautiful Teresa..I do enjoy visiting and seeing what you have been up to each week!....Well done, I love it....Ooh, I am looking at all that beautiful Alpaca too...lucky you...It's my most favourite yarn!<br />Your farmhouse looks so beautiful in the snow.....<br />Keep warm and have a lovely weekend,<br />Susan ♥♥ Mary Janes TEAROOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773609140590006438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-81493062425179042172012-03-02T06:28:59.521-08:002012-03-02T06:28:59.521-08:00Teresa, your basket is so cool!

If I ever tried anything like that it wouldn't look nearly as neat. Do you have any plans for your little basket yet? I would say you could use it to store some of your fiber fun, but seeing how much fluff you received, I'd say you need something a smidge larger! That is a lot of raw alpaca! I'm sure that will keep you busy for some time.

Your basket is totally awesome--love, love, love it! One of my ancestors was a basket maker for awhile, so it was really fun to see all the the steps that go into making one!<br />LOVE your snow; loved our snow and loved the snow a friend and I saw today on a trip we made!

When I was at primary school we used to do some weaving and make lovely trays. My dear Aunt used one I made her for many, many years. Hand made is best isn't it. What pretty pictures of the snow but I am hoping our spring weather here in the UK will continue and winter has gone for this year. Have a great weekend...relax and enjoy ;0)<br />Jane xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742664269417361941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-57372344000057062632012-03-02T01:36:08.103-08:002012-03-02T01:36:08.103-08:00What a great basket!

I was into basket making when my girls were in junior primary school and I used to make dolly carry cots for all their friends, using that plastic covered cane - covered masonite base. Also made myself a couple of shopping baskets and a waste paper bin. It was lots of fun.<br /><br />Your pictures of the snow look magical.<br />xoxoxDorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237217955755971642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-20035367142153269432012-03-01T21:00:22.365-08:002012-03-01T21:00:22.365-08:00TERESA!!!
