I love how this blanket turned out (baby fern stitch), and I don't care if that makes me immodest! I knit it (27" x 36") with the alpaca yarn I bought at the Yarn Barn in Lawrence (purchased without ball bands) with Kimberly S, and it's going back to Kansas...as soon as I manage to rid it of its "sheep" smell (this experience has led me to conclude that alpaca and sheep smell Exactly the same). It didn't smell like barn until I soaked it last night, but it certainly does now (as in the entire room in which it was drying smells of animal). I don't block often and so I am completely at a loss as to how to de-stink the blanket. Any advise knitters? I think I'm going to try to air it out...Love, Sara
Oh, and in that first photo, the blanket is draped over the arm of my very first rocking chair- the one I've had since I was two.
Next on the needles: baby socks!
