Bernat -Alpaca Hooded Cowl (Crochet)

Yes, I am still working on the Bernat crochet Cowl.

I started this project, oh let's see...

In mid-October!!!

It moves fast and it's definitely an easy pattern.

I think the thing I'm realizing is that I'm just not that into crochet.

In the time that I've started this, I've finished the Twinkle Nolita cowl, the My Kind of Cowl cowl and various dishtowels!

I need to finish this one soon, though.

Not only for a sense of completion but also 'cause it's a Christmas gift!!!

I think one more skein will do and then I'll be done.

Do I look like her?

So what is Alpaca...

I see it all over in pattern books and knitting mags.

According the wonderful Wiki:

Alpaca fleece is the natural fiber harvested from an Alpaca. It is light weight or heavy weight, depending on how it is spun, soft, durable, luxurious [1] and silky natural fiber. While similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin which makes it hypoallergenic.[1][2] However, this lack of lanolin also prevents Alpaca fiber from being naturally water-repellent. It also has less crimp, thus making it much less elastic.

Yay! Soft and not itchy!

Cute!!! Here's a fluffy guy! (an Alpaca)

He's tooooo cute!!!!
