I finished this scarf sometime last week. This was my "go to" project to work on while riding the bus to my office.
The yarn was great to work with and I have to thank Jill again for the idea of what to make with it.
I'm planning to send it to an auntie of mine who has been very hospitable to me over the years. The colors will be perfect for her.
The Project: Easy Peasy Bias Scarf
The Yarn: Whisper - 100% Peruvian Alpaca handpainted by A.L. de Sauveterre
The Needles: Crystal Palace Bamboo 4mm
Started: July 31 2005
Finished: August 2005
It's beautiful and I'm sure your aunt will love it!

Melissa - Thanks! Jill gave me the idea to make a bias scarf and then I threw in eyelets here and there to break it up.
Laura - Thanks so much!

SO pretty, Amy! I'm sure your Auntie will love it. I still haven't figured out what to do with the skein you sent me. I think some lacy scarf thing to keep close to my neck. How can you not wear alpaca next to your bear skin?

Thanks! It is very luxurious feeling. I can't wait to send it on to my aunt. Thanks again for the bias scarf idea.
I think it's hard to find patterns that looks good with handpainted yarn. Maybe you could find a good pattern for yours in that new knitting lace with handpainted yarn book.

The scarf looks great!
I will try to upload some pics of the puppy soon, but I can't even get a moment to myself. I have had no sleep. He hasn't slept through the night yet. A puppy is just like a baby. I never knew it would be likes this!

Thanks!
You are right, puppies are a lot like babies. I remember when my parent's got a puppy (miniature schnauzer). He woke everyone in the house up at all hours of the night. It was exhausting!
