Nobody told me about alpaca!

I've discovered alpaca. OH.MY.GOD. how soft and feelable is it?! If I had the knitting skills of this young lady then I would be in a knitting frenzy. As it is I am probably the sloooooooooooooowest damned knitter in the whole universe and its FRUSTRATING! But I am on a mission. I want to work with the really cool soft stuff so I am going to persevere. And there's really no point learning something that is going to save me money in the long run if I don't stay in it long enough for the long run..!?! Well I know what I mean!

I'm 30 whole years this year. It's so exhilarating. I can still remember the day (I was 17) when I met a 30 year old woman and thought "wow! she's sooooo oooooold!!" and now I'M THERE! Only I don't feel old. I feel really excited! I'M GOING TO BE 30! HEAR ME ROAR! Is it too early for me to have my mid-life crisis? Only, it would be really good to get it out of the way... so I can get on with the rest of my life.

Have a great weekend ;)
