Another hit from Jade Sapphire. What's not to like about cashmere? This stuff is incredibly soft and wonderful to work with. The pattern here is from 200 Stitch Patterns for Baby Blankets. It is called GROTTO and is pattern number 113, and is crocheted. It was enjoyable and easily memorized. I could have kept knitting this one forever!

"Honey, pull the tractor over by that goat yonder. I feel like spinning." (or whatever the Mongolian translation would be)

Well, it looks like they pulled the goat over, plucked his hair and commenced to spinning. However, it feels like Heaven on earth! It is SO soft I'd like to have lingerie made from it! It definitely looks handspun, with variations in thickness, but there is no doubt about it, this is cashmere. Umm, umm, ummmh!

This stuff is as good as it gets. It wasn't just the color name that made me want to eat it. It is SO nice. Though it would be a bit of a pricey snack, I'd be willing to spend it for this delicacy.
