This project was started in 2016, and last posted about in 2017.
I go back and fourth between loving it and not.
- I think using a larger needle would have given more drape to the fabric, but I intend to block the finished scarf severely.
- I think I should have tried harder to do the lace panel, but I really wanted a no-stress project when I started this one.
- Due to a lot of guard hair, the yarn is scratchy.... really, it's a very poor example of alpaca...
- And the color, while I love medium fawn on the alpaca, I don't love it as much in this project. I am thinking about dying it. I've not done any dying other than tie-dying t-shirts as a kid.
But it is an ideal project for travelling.
- It's compact for working on airplanes.
- The rows are short and the pattern is simple.
- There is just enough variation to feel like I'm making progress... especially since this project has been going on for such a long time.
I've just started the second skein, and think this will ultimately take close to three skeins.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
