Project: Autumn Branches 秋树
Pattern: Branching Out by Susan Lawrence, free download on Ravelry
Yarn: Pajolo Alpacas Lace Weight
Yardage: 2.1oz, 200 yards
Needles: Size 8
Cast on: December 18, 2011
Notes: Extremely fine yarn on relatively big needles, and you get lace. I bought this yarn at Stitches a few years ago. It's so fine and delicate, it wants to become something very sweet and lady-like. It's very soft too, you know, like good alpaca should. There is not much yardage, so a very lacy scarf seems to be the answer.
Happy Fiber Arts Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blog and leave me a comment!

That scarf is beautiful...and so is that yarn. Alpaca is the best and totally perfect for that lacey scarf.
I can only imagine how sloft and lovely that yarn is. Alpaca is such a wonderful fiber to work with. That"s also a perfect pattern for that amount of fiber, great job!
Your mom is amazing! Will get some more yarn together for you to give her.
I think this one will be just lovely when it's finished. :-)
Agreed on the alpaca - you can't go wrong with it for a lace scarf like that.
Can't wait for the blocking magic to happen.
Ooo, it does look so soft, this will make a beautiful, soft and cozy shawl! Can't wait to see it finished.
Wow...it's going to be stunning.
Oh, Vivian, how lovely!! I'm sure it's so soft, too!
Mmm, yummy alpaca.
I have a lacy alpaca cowl that is really, really warm. I love it. Yours will be fabulous!
