Today I'd like to thank Anna for handmaking this beautiful beanie from Alpaca and Silk and sending it to me just in time for the wave of cold weather that has currently taking root around our area. I like the colour, it goes well with my eyes and it is very very soft.
I can tell it is real Alpaca because the package was opened by the formidable Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service and our sniffer dogs can detect a whole Alpaca even when hidden in small packages.
Quoting the note that was left in the package: " This mail has been opened by Australia Post for Inspection by AQIS. AQIS screening process, which uses detector dogs and X-ray machines, indicated there may have been an item of quarantine concern in your mail. No items of quarantine concern were detected.....nothing has been removed."
In other words they didn't find the Alpaca, that's because it was so well blended and camouflaged within the silk...

Another great beanie, and you're looking healthier than what I expect you looked like at this point last round.
Also good to hear our quarantine people are on the ball.

Thanks so much for posting the photo. It looks beautiful on you! I'm so glad it sort of fits, even if you did have to roll it up a bit. I confess that I fell totally in love with that yarn and especially the colour, so I'm really happy you are enjoying it. And you are looking quite well - hope you're feeling ok during the weeks between chemo rounds.
How weird with the quarantine thing! In all my years of overseas shipping of small packages, I've never heard of anything being inspected anywhere. Glad they didn't steal your hat!
