This is the last item in the Ben's Knitted Christmas series. The alpaca scarf is super soft and was quick and easy to make. It matches the alpaca hat. Although the color doesn't read very well in this picutre, its a very pretty shade of medium grey-blue. The pattern is from Last minute knitted gifts and I think its called the Men's Cashmere Scarf, but the pattern only calls for it to be a yard long and I wanted it to be a longer, wrap-around type scarf, so I knit until it hung mid-hip on both sides of me, hopefully that equates to just about waist length on Ben. Both sides of the pattern look nice, the other side is more like a broken rib, so it can be worn with either side out. He seems to really like it, but it hasn't been uber cold yet and we haven't been out anytime when he could have worn it. Maybe someday I'll get pictures of him in all of these things.
As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn. I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn! Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does. That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop! Before the goods, a recap: I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year. I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it. This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn! You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it. Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn! It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic! Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...
