A package just for me
The manos scarf is finished (see previous post). Also check out this scarf pattern that uses manos. I think it is
gorgeous – though I wonder what the wrong side looks
like…

My package from Knitpicks
arrived and I have some initial impressions. The Sierra is just not as nice as
I had hoped. It is a wool/baby alpaca blend, but does not have the softness or
shine that I was expecting from something containing alpaca. I did go ahead and
start the vest, but it just doesn’t seems near as nice as the one I made out of
Misti Alpaca. The sierra has no drape and is
kinda rough and puffy (would be good for cables, though). The gray color that i
got is kinda dull. i think this yarn would be nice nice for scarves and hats,
and the basicness of the colors seems good for
striping.
In red, panache (the one w/ a little bit of
cashmere) seems soft as a cloud. I have to get cracking on picking a scarf
pattern for that stuff. So far, i love it. I hope it wears
well.

i am really glad that I got a few
of the color cards because it is really nice to see the
colors.
