Hand Paint Toqueing

Hii!

I hope everybody enjoyed their (early) Hallowe’en weekend!

Now, it’s back to the daily knitting grind for me… of course, it’s not really a grind since it’s something that I love to do. 😉

So last week, I received a lovely package in the mail – yarn from Vancouver Island ready to be knitted for an order!  Isn’t it gorgeous?  I mean I could go on about the colour and texture forever.  I must say 100% baby alpaca is something that can always get my juices flowing…

Diamond Luxury Hand Paint - 100% Baby Alpaca

Diamond Luxury Hand Paint – 100% Baby Alpaca

I’ve started the custom toque order with this yarn.  Since, I’ve used Diamond Luxury’s Baby Alpaca Viva before too, I knew it’d be too little to just knit this held single.  It’s turning out pretty great holding double & will be amazingly soft and warm for this weather that’s getting progressively colder!

Here’s a picture of the start.  Check back soon on here or my FB page for progress photos!
