Ginger Spice Blanket


I finally used up all the Ginger Spice Caron Tea Cakes yarn.  The outside temp being -20 with a windchill feel is -50 helped.

 

Few works in process


I was in the middle of two things, the Rose alpaca and another one of the virus sweaters, so I recently posted both.

 

In my shop now! Hurry, one sold already!

 

Princess Rose Alpaca


I decided to make one last alpaca for a while, using a pretty yarn called “Rose Garden” I bought a while ago.

 

In my shop now!

 

 

I personally prefer the more neutral colored ones which make the decorations stand out more, but I very much like how this one came out.  It sorta reminds me of a Chia Pet, actually!

Blue Steel Alpaca


Although making these in bright colors is cool, I think picking natural colors really makes the decorations stand out nicely!

 

In my shop now!  3 sold so far!

 

Valentines Day Early I guess


I bought 6 skeins of the Caron Simply Soft Tweeds.  I had been eyeing it for a while and I thought it would make my alpaca or sheep look a little more rustic.  It didn’t work out exactly as I had figured, but once I finished this one up, I am very pleased with it.  Reds and pinks seemed to suit this off-white tweed but now it feels Valentine themed, just a little bit. The reds and pinks were just scraps from previous projects that I thought would look good.

 

Sold!
