Maybe I'll name it Packy

(I'm not really intending on turning this into a knitting blog, but creating something is quite fun and often requires an exclamation of "look how cute!!!" and running around like a 5 year old showing everyone your creations. At least I won't have the 17 requisite cat photos that seem to be required on every knitting blog).

Several weeks ago I bought myself a treat. Well, two sets of treats. Variegated green and variegated purple hand-dyed alpaca yarn! I really wanted the purple and justified buying the green by telling myself I'd make it as a mother's day gift for my mom. And I kept telling myself that even though I knew it wasn't true. :p

I didn't buy a ton (because, shockingly enough, hand-dyed alpaca yarn from Chile is a bit pricey) so I decided to make a couple scarves. I've finished the green one! Look how pretty!!! (Sorry for the picture quality. I can't get myself to break down and buy a digital camera so I'm stuck with webcam photos)


I'm going to do the purple in a bit of a different pattern which I, admittedly, took off a knitting blog. :p But first I think I'm going to finish the tuque I started for my father 5 years ago. Just because I'm a good daughter like that. :p
