Project #2

This is a "candy cane" scarf made from alpaca yarn. Both mom and I are to make two each for this year's Christmas party (the theme is candy canes). Can I just say how much I *love* alpaca? Not just because they're cute, they are cute but they're also very silky and glide so gracefully through your fingers. If I was rich, I probably wouldn't use anything else.

Project: Scarf
Pattern: None, Stockingnette Stitch
Needle: Size 11 exotic wood (Laurel Hill laurelhillonline.com)
Final Size: 4" x 75"
Yarn: Wish I knew. Alpaca purchased from Needle in a Haystack (needlestack.com).
Material: Unknown
Weight/Length: Unknown
Wash Instructions: Unknown, I'm going with hand-wash only, do not dry.
Comments: Taught me how to change yarns and more importantly, sew in ends on same color stitches. Love working with alpaca and the Laurel Hill needles are simply divine.

I'm going to work on the darling husband to buy me an alpaca. He's not convinced that spinning my own yarn would be cheaper than buying it but he's willing to fire up the grill when he's proven right.
