Scarf, alpaca, stockinette and reverse stockinette stitches, size 5 wood needles
I enjoy knitting with alpaca more than with most fibers, so this was a wonderful piece to knit. I made the rows long rather than short, which gives the scarf a different look. It's alpaca that is knot dyed, but it's a combination of brown and a blue gray color. I like using smaller needles to make a somewhat dense fabric - the softness is accented that way, I think.
It's a gift for a friend in Nova Scotia, so I'm sure it will be used often.
