Having to fix a dropped stitch held me back a bit, but the sweater is finally washed, blocked, and ready for buttons. I tried a different method of swatching for this one that went against most everything I'd head about how to knit a gauge swatch. Know what? That swatch told the truth and the sweater came out exactly the size it was supposed to. Yay!

I'm not the only one that wears their #handspunyarn as a cowl right? :D I couldn't resist giving these skeins a trial run while I figure out what to make with them. #yarnspinnersofinstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunstagram #igspinnersinspiration #yarnlove #yearofcreativehabits #makingyarn #alpacalove #instaspin #capturemycraft #seekinspirecreate #schachtspindle #schachtsidekick
Took a few tries, but I have finally spun soft alpaca yarn! And it’s everything I hoped it would be: soft, plump, and positively luxurious. It definitely needs to be some sort of cowl or shawl - maybe garter stitch with a little bit of lace.
