First up I started working on Natural Beauty Wrap using some Misti Alpaca lace weight yarn. So far it is coming along beautifully!! I had a lot of trouble with this yarn when I tried knitting with it so I thought I will try crochet instead and this is working out wonderfully! Here are a couple progress pictures after three rows were completed (clicking on either picture should take you to my Rav project page for more details):

Second up was the Cabled Headband. I only have a small 50g skein of some mystery yarn so I tried out the guage to see if I would be ok. I think I'll be fine but I'll check the yarn weight along the way and keep track of where I am at half way through the skein. And it all worked out well. This was a really quick and easy project!! It took no more than a few hours to make! Here are a couple pictures (clicking on either picture should take you to my Rav project page for more details):

ReplyDeleteThat alpaca yarn looks absolutely gorgeous. I'll be looking forward to a pic of the finished wrap. BTW the background of your blog is awesome. How do you do that ? (I don't mean the v stitch, I mean how do you get it as background on your page).
