I Love Alpacas

It's past midnight, I'm wearing a free t-shirt from my favorite (wine) bar, the lighting is terrible, and my mirror is in dire need of Windex, but I couldn't resist. I'm done!

I love knitting with alpaca. In addition to coming from adorable creatures, it's the warmest yarn known to man. Wearing this tiny capelet feels like throwing on a down comforter. And knitting with alpaca is a dream. It has a beautiful balance of shine and bulk that's usually only found in silk/wool blends.

This is the inspiration, as shown off by a well put together size 0 model. Mine will look closer after I wash and shape it so the bottom doesn't curl up and the whole thing won't look so bumpy. I'll take a better photo when that's all done. For now, I just want to roll up in it.

Thanks for the idea, Emileee! Sorry I totally stole it.
