Fibre Baby Beautiful

Hello Hello!
I have finally completed my Fibre Baby accessories! Woohoo! I bought some beautful hand spun, hand dyed alpaca yarn at Gibsons Fibre Festival a few months ago, I named the yarn my Fibre Baby. Within a week of getting home I made a scarf from it. The scarf is a 2x2 rib and is about 3 inches wide by 12 feet long. It is so cute! I had a little bit of yarn laft over so I thought I would use it as trim for a pair of matching mittens and a hat. I asked Shannon to dye some BFL to match the alpaca so I could make the hat and Mitts. I finished the mitts last weekend and finished the hat yesterday. They are so cute, and very, very pink:



I found the neatest new stitch markers on Etsy. The seller is Crimson Orchid. Her prices are great and the markers are beautiful, each set comes on a coordinating wire holder to keep it all organized and tidy. The holder speaks to the OCD in me in the most fabulous way.


I am going to be helping Shannon sell her yarn at the Winter Market tomorrow. I am really looking forward to being warm and cozy indoors. It will be a nice change from the outdoor farmers market. I am hoping to maybe find some neat Christmas Gifts...
