Still Going

You know me, can't stop knitting just because I finished something. Yesterday I started and finished a new cowl for the upcoming winter. Oh yes, started and finished. At least knitting. I need to buy buttons and sew them on. Either way, it's at a wearable point now and laying to dry so it's done. The only thing missing is some pictures. The worst part of a Midwestern fall is the dreary days when there is no where near enough sunlight to get a decent photo. So instead I'll entice you with the yarn it's knitted in.


That is Misti Alpaca Chunky (I think, either that or maybe Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande).  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think baby alpacas are my favorite kind of alpaca. And I have not just one ball of this, but seven! What makes it even better (if that's possible) is I bought this from a friend in my knitting group for ten dollars! This kind of awesome score makes knitting with this yarn even that more enjoyable.

  4. You just reminded me that I have two skeins of misti alpaca chunky in a gorgeous purple at the bottom of my stash that needs to see the light day. Hope you get some sunshine soon -- would love to see photos of your new FO.

  7. Alpaca cowls are my favorite when it's cold out. They're so warm and soft.
