Alpaca Scarf

08/03/10

Never had this type of yarn in my hands before - quite enjoyable. Took only 1 skein - and it is from Alpaca Acres - I could walk there...
Yes - it needs to be blocked - will do that and post on it later - the before and after pic. Feels beautiful - but like all lace patterns, it will get even better with blocking.
I used 4.50 mm DPN's and a free pattern from Nicole Hindes called Strangling Vine. Should be noted that if you do use this pattern, you are expect to do a RAOK - Random Act of Kindness - which you can read more about in her post. There is also the link to the .pdf of the pattern from this site. Easy to knit - SSK, K2tog and yo's...nothing complicated.
