New work.

For the person who asked about working with alpaca, the shawl in baby alpaca. The yarn is a single ply, about half the thickness of sock yarn.

The capelet is merino wool and is elbow length.

from one who has been trying to knit a lace pattern and not doing so well---that is super, china cat! It takes a lot of concentration and sometimes, I don't have that! ;>)

3. If I wore jewelry of any kind

your beadwork is the type of thing I'd choose. Nice stuff.

A hint about knitting lace...stitch markers. Put one between every repeat. That way you won't have a whole row to recount to find your mistake, you'll only have the few stitches of a single repeat.

6. Soooooooo beautiful!

I'm working with some gorgeous baby alpaca right now and I'm in love with it. I also discovered laceweight Malabrigo the other day - talk about a rush.
