144 stiches

 After I'd h finished the alpaca poncho, I decided to make something from the same yarn, it was so damn soft! One night, sitting on the couch with my boyfriend, I had two balls of white alpaca yarn and size 5 mm in-the-round needles. I told him to pick a number between 50 and 200. 144. That's how many stiches.

I wasn't sure how much would 2 balls of yarn make with 144 stiches in the round. Everybody kept on asking what I was knitting, had to tell them I had no idea, since didn't know how much the yarn would make. 

 

 This is what turned out. First a scarf. No, this is enough for a top. Oh, a dress, yes, that's it. 

A small skein of yarn was left, I could maybe make braces. But I might like it better this way.

And finally from the back. Easy, simple, pretty (, see-through, oops).

Mom's alpacas!

To be honest, the animals arent actually my mother's. I hope. But she sent me loads of alpaca yarn from Peru and I really had no idea what to do with them. This is what I came up with, for starters.

 I AM happy with the result, even though it may not look like I'm smiling.

I thought this would take way more yarn, but I only got rid of the grey one.

I used 5 mm needles, could've been maybe a bit thicker. We can try again, there's always more where that came from!

Quite nice colors for autumn, don't you think?
