Island Alpaca Alpaca / Llama Llama!

Island Alpaca Co. was so excited to be part of the Edgartown Library's Story Time on Friday, February 6, 2015 featuring a visit by the popular Storybook Character, Llama Llama.

A number of local library enthusiasts attended the reading to include a special visit from Llama Llama and a reading of stories from a number of Llama Llama's favorite books, to include Llama Llama Red Pajama, Llama Llama Misses Mama, and Llama Llama Time to Share.

Island Alpaca Co., home to 70+ Alpaca, brought along their two Alpacas "Bosco" and "Atticus Rex". They received a warm welcome from all those that attended and were introduced as Llama Llama's second cousin!

Llama Llama also visited the West Tisbury Library on Thursday, Feb. 5, and on Saturday, Feb. 7, at Chilmark Library.

Posted with permission of Sandra Weber-- her kind words spoken about our alpaca "Bella". Thank you for writing Sandra, you and your new scarf are lovely!

Dear Bella -- thank you for your lovely warm fleece that made such a nice scarf -- I live in Arizona but at 4500' elevation so it gets cold here. Hope you and your daughter are doing well!

Dear Barbara - I'd be delighted if you shared the scarf and praise for Bella - with this scarf I used size 7 needles, and cast on 28 stitches - started with 6 rows garter stitch, then first 3 and last 3 stitches garter stitch and 22 stitches of seed stitch in between for each row, ending with 6 more rows of garter stitch to end - Just kept knitting until I had just enough yarn for the last 6 rows and bind-off row - wanted it to be as long as possible - (3.6 ounces of Bella yarn) When Son Jeff & Daughter-in-law Sue visited you last fall they'd taken a picture of Bella and sent it along with the yarn - just fell in love with her :o}  So did they, and they saw her daughter too - Just loved the critters humming to Jingle Bells - Thank you!  Sandra Weber
