A red warm scarf from Alpaca yarn

Red Warm Shawl from Alpaca YarnWhen a knitter knows that she has to go to a birthday soon then there is little thought. She grabs her knitting needles, finds the pattern she has been itching to knit, digs out a gorgeous red alpaca yarn from her yarn closet and starts to knit a warm scarf. The kind of scarf you can use during the chilly summer evenings or take it around in the winter to feel cozy in front of the fireplace. After couple of weeks, just in time for the birthday the scarf was ready. And as usual there just does not seem to be a perfect moment for taking pictures. So the pictures here sadly don’t do justice to the scarf, I will try to be better at organizing my time at the future so I will have plenty of time for pictures and can present the scarves as they should be presented.

But at the mean time here are the details of the scarf
Yarn: Lamana Piura Baby Alpaca Yarn
Color: Red
Dimensions: 180 x 90 cm
Needles: 2,75; 3,5 and 5

And here is the scarf hanging at my home from an apple tree couple of hours before the birthday girl got it. Unfortunately one of my children got sick on the same day and I had to stay home, but the others were able to go.

Lacy Alpaca Scarf – Secret Knitting vol5

Mustrimaailma Pitsiline salakudumine 2015

There is a secret knitting going on at www.mustrimaailm.net an Estonian forum for knitters and crocheters. This time the theme is a lacy scarf.

And here is the scarf finally finished πŸ™‚

You can see the scarf after the first clue HERE
After the second clue HERE
And after the third clue HERE
And after the fourth clue HERE

The last clue was given on the 10th of June and after that there was a bit of knitting, blocking and here I am with the final result.

Yarn: Lamana Piura 00 (white)
Needles size 3

I have got to say that I do like the yarn, it is suitable for bit warmer shawls and it holds the form nicely if you knit it the right way (in this scarf I followed the pattern but if I would knit the same scarf again I would change the pattern a bit so that the edge would hold better). I will definitely use the same yarn again, and recommend it to all who need a shawl/scarf for colder times of the year. I also have some red Lamana Piura and can’t wait to find a pattern to knit with it.

The next two pictures are taken by my son who is seven years old. We took them by the peony because to me the pattern reminded me of them and when there was a vote on what the name of the scarf should be then it turned out that others saw flowers too because the name of the secret knitting shawl became Tiina lilleaed (Tiina’s flower garden; Tiina is the author of the pattern). The pattern is now available in Ravelry.
