I ordered all the yarn for these projects a few weeks ago and all of the yarn from List Souza (www.lisaknit.com) came in yesterday. I can't express enough how beautiful her yarn is, she is a true artist with the dye and the yarn itself is really pure and even. I was swooning! I didn't want to stop rubbing the alpaca on my cheek, it is luxury defined! I believe that my order from Knit Picks should be in today or tomorrow and I will post photos of all of it together as soon as I get my greedy little paws on it! I will also, of course, post photos of the projects in progress as well as finished. I am hoping to switch them up a little by staggering a scarf and hat set with a pair of socks. I am a little nervous about the Branching Out scarves, since it will be my first forray into lace knitting...I can't wait though, it is going to look amazing in this alpaca. :)
