A WIP Hat

Confession time..........even with all my alpaca loving blog friends, I have yet to knit with alpalca wool.  That is, until now!  As a sort of hobby/compulsion I like to scan Ebay now and then for clearance wool, and last year some time I bought a ball of 100% alpalaca to try.  I like to buy things like this on Ebay because if I end up not liking them, well, I haven't lost much money in the process.

So I've cast on another hat, in my ongoing attempt to make a hat for myself for this winter.  My daughter wasn't feeling well yesterday so after school we all lined up on the couch and watched Tangled.  I think this is my favorite Disney movie thus far.  It might help that Zachary Levi is in it (he's Chuck!!).  I started this hat:


Sorry about my really poor photography skills, I was in a hurry to get this post up.

As for reading--I am as addicted to that as I am to knitting.  I am currently reading Rebecca, and I just got the best gift ever, a Kindle.  I was dead set against Kindles for ages, but the newest ones that have the pearl ink technology are just like reading a book.  Now I am hooked.  Only, that doesn't photograph well does it?

    I managed to get a picture of my book cover on the nook last week. As long as you have the light hitting it, it should work with a kindle, too.

  2. So, what do you think of the alpaca?! I love it, my favourite is alpaca with silk, softness personified ;)

  3. It looks like its going to be a cute pattern! Well, I also have to ask, how do you like the alpaca yarn? (Hopefully it's good quality, if so I know you're bound to love it!)

  5. I am really liking the alpaca so far. It seems a bit more....hairy than wool, but in a nice way. I can't wait to get it on my head and see how it feels :) Alpaca and silk sounds divine, I've not knit with silk either, but I'll get there!!
