Okay, #knitting people. I have a lovely, buttery soft baby alpaca yarn that doesn't work for the pattern I intended. Send me shawl ideas! 1020 yards, worsted weight, charcoal gray, little stitch definition. I'd like to use most of it. Yes, I have looked for ideas on Rav.

Here it is in kind of a broken rib.

I've figured out what to do with the alpaca yarn! #knitting

I have no idea how big this is going to be. I think it's a blanket. #knitting

I just wanted to see how big it was after I got to the end of the second skein 😭 #knitting #SirSqueakertonTheFirst

@aleen looks like three full cats. Give up your reliance on arbitrary "inches" and "centimetres" and use a more concrete and reliable measuring system. *g*

@ginnikin he's on the small side, so maybe more like 2.5 cats 🤔

@aleen Pasties? 🤣

I had to zoom in because the holes looked like sequins and it reminded me of a beret my grandmother used to wear.

@aleen That’s a beautiful spiral - it’s going to be gorgeous in that soft black yarn.
