New fun!

So having set aside the socks, I started working on what should turn out to be a shawl. Here is my test swatch.

When blocked, this should come out to about 12" wide and 7" tall. To make it into a shawl/wrap I will make it twice as wide and go until I run out of yarn. I have two skeins of baby alpaca from Shibui that I couldn't resist. My really grand plan is to make this and then find a nice summer dress to wear with it and then wear to Janet's wedding. The yarn is super soft and so pretty! I love the subtle variegation. Anyhoo. Off to bed. Maybe next time I'll write about something other than knitting. Maybe not.
