Drops had a sale in the month of May and I just couldn't resist buying a box full of Alpaca. I bought it online and while I was trying to decide which colours to buy, I just kept adding them to my cart until I pretty much decided to buy all of them. Well, except for the brown shades because I'm not a fan of brown.
I first thought of making a blanket with successive gradients of colour, but decided it would be too messy. I then thought about making a spiral gradient blanket, but couldn't figure out a way to do it without cutting the ends and joining them every row - which is a waste of good alpaca in my view! So I settled on huge blocks of colour.
55 stiches in each colour, 28 cm tall before changing colours. I hope it will be as gorgeous at the end as it is in my head. It's already so soft and wonderful that alpaca is my new favourite yarn.
