Alpaca, My 'Paca

Have I mentioned how much I love this alpaca yarn? It's so soft, so pretty, so wonderful to work with... I want y'all to come over so you can pet it.

Yes, I'm insane. Moving on, here's a scan of the lace:



It's not blocked, obviously, and my scanner didn't pick up how bright it is, but I think you get the idea. One of the things I love about this pattern is that, in each repeat, there are only two SK2P (slip 1 knitwise, k2tog, psso). The rest of the decreases are k2tog. Why does this make me happy? I hate ssk. I don't know why, I don't know when it happened, I just know that there's something about ssk that annoys me.

Insane, remember?

So yeah, I love the yarn, I love the pattern, and one of these days I might get around to working on other projects that aren't lace.

Maybe.
