Alpacas of the Coast

After finishing the second block of the short-lived ‘dish cloth blanket’, I am very much crossing this off my project list and tossing the yarn aside for the time being.

I finished a second square tonight, and when placed beside the first one… the variegated yarn makes it look like some kind of pink camouflage design.  Ah well.  Knit and learn.  I have a lot to learn, and enough to knit, so these two pretty squares will get used up as Market Basket donations this summer.

As a side note, the ‘broken rib’ stitch really does look nice.

I have some other projects I could work on instead… there is the baby cash-merino sweater with the cable front that has been ‘in progress’ for over a year.  I could try and figure out what to do with my green hand-spun that I half knit into a shawl before discovering that I didn’t have enough yarn to finish it.  I have some red hand-spun that needs to be washed and hung: I have no idea what I am going to knit with that.  I need to make another toque for sale at the market (this time properly measuring the amount of yarn used so that I can make kits).  I’m missing a pair of my Denise inter-changeable needles, so they must be on a project somewhere else (a baby blanket, I think).
