I entered this into the MN state fair, and it won a blue ribbon!

I’m using all my Fields of Grace alpaca stash.

I ran out of the MC about half way down the body… so I’m coming up with creative colorwork solutions to use the other colors to finish it. HOWEVER, the most of one color I have left is the cream, and in using it for the waist it felt off balance. So I frogged the collar and reworked it with the cream so it would feel more balanced.

I can’t just go and buy more because this yarn is from two seasons ago, and the alpacas have a slightly different coat each year, so even yarn from the same animal would not match yarn from the previous year.
