Ribbed alpaca heat wave


The temperature is to hit 94 degrees today, the third 90+ day in a Northeast heat wave. It is hardly conceivable that someday it will be cold enough to wrap alpaca wool around my neck, but when that day arrives, I am ready. This scarf, an Ann Budd design found here (along with other neat free pdf patterns), has sat on a pair of number 9 needles for over a year. It feels good to cast it off, block it, and pack it away for a far-in-the-future, cold, Pennsylvania winter.
