A few days ago I got some lovely new yarn. This yarn was supposed to be for a surprise birthday gift for my best friend, care-giver, spiritual sister, Laurie. She deserves it! It's 50% baby alpaca and 50% tencel... 100% amazing yarn that is soooo soft and is knitting beautifully into the shawl pattern that I chose: shawl pattern. Unfortunately, she found out about the surprise, which was mostly my fault but I wouldn't have slipped if she hadn't been snooping around my ravelry page... (btw - if you are ever interested in my knitting further you can see me on ravelry - livelaughloveknit) Oh well, it would have been a hard secret to keep anyways and she loves the yarn and the pattern so I guess I did ok :)! I'm an even luckier girl, when the yarn came, it just happened to match a very dressy skirt that I have that I am making a sweater/wrap for to wear to the multiple weddings that are coming up and it matched perfectly! So I got to order more for myself and get to experience the loveliness of this yarn too! I am worried that it is too light of a weight for what the pattern calls for but the pattern is in the mail so I won't know for a little bit... We'll see.
