Hubba had given me ~1200 yards of a black baby alpaca yarn a while back. I thought that I would either make a sweater or the blanket, but it's one of those things that never quite sat right with me, so I had not cast anything on.
Then I found this....
It's almost a blanket, but not really... I don't really need another blanket anyway. It's one thing that we have plenty of.
I am very much a less-is-more kind of girl... and I enjoy cables. So I think this cape/shawl is simple enough to work on while chatting but has just enough going on to keep it interesting and to add a little drama to the finished product.
I'm a little over half-way through ball 1 of 10, so this is going to be a long-term project. ;-)
Happy Fiber Arts Friday.

The shawl looks very interesting and will be warm and cozy in baby alpaca.
What a cool looking wrap. I bet it will go fast and not be all that long term.
I love that wrap! I think it's going to be gorgeous in that yarn, and can't wait to see how it unfolds.
Ohhh I love the pattern, it's going to be gorgeous I'm sure. How are you finding it working cables with black yarn?
Less is totally more. Great project, I love waiting for just the right thing for the yarn--it has to speak to you :)
ooooh, I like it!
It will be gorgeous in the black too.
BTW, I responded to your question about my socks in my blog comments section. Not sure if you get a notification so go back and check it out.
@Cathy - I'm not up to the cables yet, but with the black yarn I need to make sure I'm working with good light.
Thank you all.... I've very excited about this project. :-)
Nice color on your shawl that will look great with your hair. I am in Grand Junction, CO. Where are you?
I love the Jamieson yarn because I fell in love with Lerwick AND Scotland this summer. Making my husband a watch cap with Jamison 2 ply held double...with sheep knitted in the hat.
Love the pattern. Will be watching your progress.
