Cables in Alpaca - WIP

Cables in Alpaca

This is a WIP, a giftmas present for someone dear to me. The yarn I'm using is 100% homegrown - my son's grandmother raised the alpacas, sheared them, skirted the wool, washed the wool, carded the wool, spun the wool, and in the case of the blue yarn, dyed the wool.

I'm just doing the knitting.

This will be a scarf, when it's finished. It's 24 stitches across, being knit on size US11 needles, with a 6-stitch left-twisting cable in the center on a 6-row repeat.
