FO Alpaca Scrunchable

Ingrid · 12-08-2005, 06:21 PM

I made this with doubled varigated tan/off white alpaca with an occasional mix of off white thrown in for variety. It's very soft and substantial--it'll be very warm. It's for 'other grandma'

It's Kelly's scrunchable pattern, k2, p1 on both sides with a selvedge at each end. Pretty quick!

Thanks! I'd be tempted to keep it, but her birthday was yesterday.

Mindee--I'll make you one when you come and get 5-year-old Ryan every Sunday and keep him all day, and occasionally overnight. A small price to pay, in my opinion.

Thanks! I know it's not technically YOUR pattern, but I wouldn't have given it a second glance if you hadn't touted it and given us such a good close up of the stitch pattern.

After the cat zoomed in on it, I realized that the colors are actually the best I could have done for the recipient. She has four cats, and three of them match the scarf. It'll look like mohair in no time!!

That is sooooo pretty! Is alpaca soft to the skin for someone wool sensitive? Also..what do you mean selvedge on the ends?
