34, a photo by --erin kate on Flickr.

I just moved back into school, but before I left I managed to start swatching for a new sweater ! I'm using Cascade yarns 100% baby alpaca lace in a lightly variegated lavender. . .



. . . and rather big needles. (10 US) I love the airy-light fabric it makes !

p.s. the above photo is from my instagram feed & I am totally obsessed.

  1. That first photo is fantastic--it looks like it could have been out of a magazine. :)

    I have also been thinking about grabbing some big needles and lightweight yarn for a shawl. . . Your post isn't helping that. ;)

  10. What a lovely pic of you in the hammock! How nice to go back to that. You are so disciplined to swatch first. I need to do that more often and wash it, a must for a hat's ribbing, yeah?
