Llama=Finito!!

I couldn't wait any longer. I had to ply the llama and I stayed up till 1 a.m. last night to do it. I plied it, steamed it, and this is what it looks like today. The colors aren't quite accurate in the pics, but you will get the idea. I am still going to actually submerge it, and "wash" it, but I probably won't get to that till this weekend.

The first one is kinda blurry, but the colors are a little more distinctive. Overall it's much greener than I expected it to be. When I bought it, I did so because of the purple shades and bright peacock blue that was running throughout, but maybe when I knit it up it will pop out a little more.

After I wash it I will re-skein it and measure it. I'm not sure of the yardage yet, so that will ultimately determine what it becomes. I might have to peruse the One Skein book and see if something in there speaks to me. It's really soft, and will probably soften even more when washed. It's a little furry, but nothing I can't handle.

Oh, and just for the locals, I am hosting a knitting meetup/Tupperware catalog perusal at my house next Wednesday. Everyone local is welcome to partake in knitting, cocktails, Tupperware fun and great people!! E-mail me at mnangel13 at yahoo dot com, if you need directions! The more the merrier. I haven't pissed off my neighbors yet this summer, so come help me out!

Have a great weekend!

Wow. I don't blame you for staying up late and doing it. It looks great - and I actually love the green.

Count me as a definite probably for Wednesday...
