Happy Day
I am finally done with my alpaca sweater! After HOURS of sewing all the pieces together, I am really happy with the results. Wendy saved the day by recommending that I sew it with sock yarn and I happened to have the right color. This pattern was very pleasant to knit and I think the stitch pattern along with the construction was the right thing for the droopy yarn. Also, I have tons of antique shell buttons - all white. I dyed 9 buttons in a little bit diluted black dye and they came out a pale gray.
Pattern: Sprossling by Anne Hanson of Knitspot
Yarn: "Alpaka" that I bought at Stitches '08.
Needles: #4
