I finally am able to post about this project I finished early in the year, now that Blue Sky has it on their web site...

http://hookandi.blogspot.com/2006/06/blog-post.html

The wrap was done in Blue Sky Alpaca's royal--a very pricey but amazing yarn-but my amazing testers--Hummywinger, Deneen, and Maria all successfully substituted other yarns...

I LOVE this pattern! Totally amazing. I'm not much of a designer yet, so I envy your talent! How could I get a copy of this pattern? Is it for sale at yarn stores? I looked on their website and it didn't seem to be for sale there.

It's on the web site--but not for sale retail--you need to buy it from one of their retailers--the pattern is new, so it might take a few weeks for it to show up in stores/online...

It's stunning! Wonderful work. Will be on the lookout for this pattern!

I agree with you about alpaca. It's my favourite fiber at the moment - so soft and light!

Amy, I get your blog and the list of posts on the left but the entire middle and right side are blank except for background design. I've tried this over a course of three days now and still don't get it. Funny, I've never had a problem with your blog before...

I had no trouble seeing it...what a beautiful piece of work!
My LYS carries Blue Sky Alpacas Royal...at $39 a skein! So how many skeins would I need...or, a better question, what yarns were used in substitution?
I will look for that pattern. It looks so comfortable and so attractive.
Congratulations on being published.

It's just beautiful, you should be really proud. I'll be looking for the pattern.

Hi--I believe I used 6 skeins of royal (gasp!) One of my testers used a wool/silk blend, sport weight, double stranded, another used simply soft--but I think the pattern would work better with something that has a little wool in it. Both versions that I made were made with sport weight--two strands held together. Let me know what you choose!

You're not the first person to tell me this--unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem on my own pc--what version of web browser are you using?
