Alpaca

Can I digress for a moment on the subject of alpaca yarn? It is wonderfully soft, warm, and makes the nicest hats. And Frog Tree Alpaca comes in the most amazing rainbow of colors. It is the right weight for doubling (knitting 2 strands at the same time), and thus can pattern itself in a most pretty way.

I just finished a cranberry and black hat for me. I cast the hat on on Wednesday night, and finished it on Saturday night, which is the fastest I have ever completed a non-scarf project. Yay me!

Started another hat today, in Rowan Plaid. It is a red hat. Let's see if I can get the time similar, and have it in the mail to AB by next week!

For a second there, I thought it said "Rohan Plaid." I would say that I have LOTR on the brain, but...

Huzzah!
