Dark pictures taken inside, nice pictures taken outside. Third pix is truest color.




Baby Alpaca cowl

Cowl knitted with two skeins of baby alpaca yarn.
Dark brown.
Pattern to be posted.
Nothing more maddening than to find an error. One stitch off really stands out in the pixs.
Argh!
With two skeins, the cowl can be pulled up over your head.
Very soft.


Ice yarn hat

This is a basic hat pattern. First time I used size 6 and 8 needles. Came out too big, ie sloppy fit.
Ripped it all the way back and use size 5 for the ribbing and size 7 for the rest. Like the size better.
Yarn used is Ice Yarn, Magic Wool Light. It is 30% wool and 70% acrylic.
Colorway is unknown. Ball band not marked. Bought on line.




**
I also bought a second skein of this yarn, different colorway.
