I love this board and have learned much from it. I clicked on the alpaca yarn ad. I have someone who lives about 5 miles from me that raises alpacas. Will buy some yarn from them but I do hairpin lace crochet will I need to learn how to knit? Guess I could learn. ha I learned the hairpin lace about three years ago and am on my 12th afghan. you can do it while watching TV or when riding in a vehicle. I go on bus trips and there are three of us doing this now.
