So turns out I have been able to get A LOT of knitting done! I am thinking I am getting about 1 project done every 3 or so days. My last finished project was this scarf. I had purchased the yarn last fall & had planned to make it for winter, well I got busy making things for other people & just never did. I finally started it again this spring & I hated the pattern I was doing, so a few weeks ago I ripped it all out!
I decided to do a rib pattern instead & loved the outcome! I cannot wait to either wear it myself this fall/winter or give to my hubby or one of my lovely brother-in-laws (I think they would appreciate more than the hubby :0))
It is made with 100% Baby Alpaca which is a more expensive luxurious yarn. I think most people have a love/hate relationship with it. Why? Love – Because it is the softest yarn EVER & Hate – It sheds to say the least!
Details:
Yarn – 100% Baby Alpaca
3 Skeins (I lost the tag & can’t remember how many yards it was total…I am guessing in the 300’s)
Needle Size – 13 & on a 29 in. cord
Pattern: (I made it up myself)
Cast on approx 200 stitches, I think I had either 200 or 215, it didn’t really matter so I didn’t count again.
Join in the Round being careful not to twist, although if you get far enough in and it is twisted it will just offer a different look, not bad.
Purl 4 rows & Knit 4 rows until desired width.
**The edges will curl up slightly but that’s okay because it is still plenty big and poofy…
Enjoy the pictures!!
