#HKAL2023 Sections 1 - 11 (& half of 12). About 10 more rows to go to the color change!
Trying to get a good picture of a shawl on the needles is an exercise in futility @_@ if anyone has any tips, I'm all ears!

Somehow I ended up with too many stitches?? But the lace pattern lined up just fine, so I'm not really sure what happened. π€·ββοΈ
The handspun alpaca is sooo dreamy for this project. Good halo, great stitch definition, and baby soft π₯Ί
Making #HandSpunYarn for #HKAL2023, cuz I always gotta be extra β¨
500g of fingering weight alpaca from a local farm & mill. The roving came in cute little bags labelled with the animals' names on them: Carmelinda, Samson, and Golden Boy.
I love how the colors came out - it reminds me of a bird of prey.
I'm still shopping around for my yarn for #HKAL2023, but I'm kinda feeling this pink/maroon palette from bluebellyarns.co.uk
Karen StrickholmThis is it, Mastoknitters! The adventure is almost over - just five more rows of chevron border, then a final row in contrast color (a wonderful mottled green), then bind off....
And then weave in ends. And block. And final shots/notes to Ravelry project page. I'm so excited! I really threw myself into this one. It has been a great knit, wonderful pacing, and I learned a lot. Now for those four other WIPs!
