I love the feel of Alpaca yarn, it is so soft against the skin. I bought a Scarf Kit from The Ardent Alpaca in Beechworth from Christmas money. I thought as I am knitting from stash I may as well do this one as it is fairly new to the stash.
The kit is Eki Riva Scarf with Button. It is knit with Eki Riva Sport 14ply Alpaca from Peru on 5mm needles. It is a light brown colour very natural looking. It knits beautifully, it looks and feels wonderful against my skin.
Other knitting has been more of the same scarf using Shadow Tweed and a cotton bag, so now I will get back to more cotton bags. I also knit a pair of felted boots, which when felted were a bit hard to get over grand-daughters heel, so I made another pair which turned out fitting me. I may put both in for sale at the Old Fire Station in May.
Family left this morning very early on their way back north home. We had a great time with them, it always goes way to quick, but it is only 5 weeks until we head north for their wedding.
