First Clapotis

I must be completely in love with Alpaca right now because this is the second project in a row i'm writing about that is knit in Alpaca.

I finished my Clapotis!! I'm so happy with this shawl. It looks beautiful and is warm and cuddly and just awesome! I'm totally in love with the pattern too. I've heard a few complaints that people have found this pattern a bit boring to knit...well, its no cables or lace or anything complicated but quite enjoyable. i loved getting to the row where i got to drop the stitches and unravel them all the way down. I am definitely planning on making this one again.

Alpaca Bed Socks

OMG, I have returned to the BLOG!! Holy crap! LOL.

I had started this pair of socks back in December in Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light because i thought they would make a nice pair of extra warm bed socks. I finished them today and i think they came out pretty nice. Its a simple 3x1 rib pattern and a 2x2 rib for the cuff. And they most definitely are extra, extra warm!
