Baby Alpaca
You are beautiful and soft, if sometimes a little difficult. Nothing but the best for you, etc. Quality, but out of the league for the rabble.

	<p><em>You are a Knitter, with the capital K.<br />You
are never found without needles and yarn in hand. Your favorite place
is the yarn shop and you can never seeme to leave without buying
needles or wool or a pattern or those fantastic stich markers. Darn
yarn fumes.<br />Your stash of yarn is the kind that spills out of
closets and is taking over the house. And it's still growing. Beware of
SABLE (Stash Aquisition Beyond Life Expectancy). You may need to
bequeath yarn to people in your will.<br />Knitting is a lifestyle for
you, not just a hobby. You do it for fun, to make presents, or to cool
off. We need more of your kind in the world. Go start a knitting club
at your school or local coffeeshop.</em></p>
