haku alpaca yarn and cabled hat in progress

as for the yarn, it’s surprisingly soft and has that certain bit of squishy bounce to it. it’s knitting up beautifully.

    I know exactly what you mean by squishy bounce!

    I am working on keeping my sanity. :)

    My cat ate part of my potato chip scarf (RIGHT when I was so.close to being done. *sniff* It’s alpaca. Baby alpaca. *sniff*) I don’t know how to proceed, so I just leave it to sit in my project bag. *sigh*

    It’s going to look lovely on you! I am currently finishing up costumes. One railroad engineer and one Princess Peach!

    I’m currently working on a bunch of baby stuff for a friend of mine due in January. Have the baby blanket almost done (it’s been epic), have almost completed a Baby Surprise Jacket and plan to do another hat and bootie set. I love alpaca. I think it’s my favourite fibre.

    That is beautiful. I am infatuated with all kind of gray lately. ?

    I’m working on a baby cardigan with fluffy organic cotton and a baby bib and mulling over which baby item to cast on next . . . thinking I better start the blanket if I plan to actually finish it in time. ;)

    I have a couple of things on my needles: my first shawl and another pair of socks. And I’m redoing a pair of mittens, does that count?

    I love that yarn- the hat should be just the thing for the cold weather. It seems there are lots of baby projects going around! I am working on fun woodland themed crafts for my baby shower…I keep thinking I should be making blankets or something useful (instead of tree-stump coasters!), but since I’m having fun with it, I’ll let it roll for now! :)
