I was sending some photos to my friend, and I thought I'd post them.
This is the scarf I made from the remaining alpaca from which I made my friends' socks:
I'll be giving it to my friend who just had a little daughter. I think in a time when all the gifts are baby's, it's nice to get something just for yourself.
This is my first ever attempt at a sweater. It's for the baby, clearly, though she won't fit into it for a while. Because it's my first sweater, the seams are a little (or a lot) crazy. I'll work on that when I make the next one, for which I already have the raw materials.
I think the baby won't care. And the sweater at least is formed correctly.
After re-reading that comment, it looks as if I infered the sweater was somehow flawed. Which by all appearances, it is not. oops.
Oh, I figured I said as much. It is somewhat flawed, but not fatally so, and it's not too apparent from the photo.
I think both are quite lovely. :)
