Using
baby alpaca yarn is like crocheting with butter. It's amazing! My finished scarf is very fluffy and super warm. Today we took a two hour walk in howling cold winds and my scarf was HOT when we get home. Seriously, I take it off, and it's hot. I love it.
I made everyone at Thanksgiving pet it. And I'm going to make anyone who says word-one about it pet it, too. I love making people pet my scarf. What kind of weirdness is that? "Feel how soft it is. Really, touch it ... TOUCH IT!"
What was that? Why yes, I usually wear my coat and scarf in the bathroom. Why do you ask? ;)
I wish I'd come up with a WOW idea for the pattern, but I like what I came up with OK. It matches the ear muffs I found yesterday really well (the houndstooth jobber in the top photo). I was inspired by
this scarf pattern to use a dual color granite stitch. It's a very stretchy, cushiony, wonderful crochet stitch. I used it on
this headband and several other things, but I never thought to alternate colors.
