Yesterday I was hired by Andrew Kopplin of Kopplin’s Coffee and today I begin training!

This is very exciting. These people are so passionate about coffee and a slower, more cherishing and absorbent lifestyle, and learning. So am I. Things seem to finally be settling into place. I have been here working on that for a year and a half.

I am trying out Misti Alpaca’s laceweight yarn and spanking myself for avoiding it for so long just because it is two-ply. Well, I have since learned the secret follies of seemingly elegant one-ply (it half-felts!). I have this stuff in a baby grey-blue colour that just screams “lace!!” to me. It’s the same colour I first saw lace crochet work in.

I also picked up some flesh-coloured Louet Kidlin (”doeskin” I guess) and a ball of Noro’s new psychedelic “Hotaru” yarn in the red-purple-orange colourway. I have NO idea what to do with that yet but I know it knows exactly what it wants to be!

I also need to get to work on a commission, but this alpaca is just too fun! Well, I will tire of it eventually.
