In my handbag, I have 200g of Malabrigo worsted in salmon pink, 200g of Artesano alpaca aran in dark brown and 100g of black Debbie Bliss pure silk. That's a world of soft and none of it's for me. They're all for Christmas and Birthday knitting that had better be appreciated.

sounds lush. what things are you making?

[carakins]

The Malabrigo, which, incidentally, is the softest wool ever, will be a ribbed lace shrug, the silk will be a simple lace cowl and the alpaca will be a scarf in simple lace. It's called man lace in the pattern. Will post pictures as and when I finish things.

oh. wonderful.
i´m making a scarf and some cufflinks for some people. but it´s all very basic. ;)

Oh, lovely. How do you make cufflinks?
What wool have you got?!

[paula_abroad]

uh err - i know i should have checked ;) - not cufflinks, just cuffs... wrist warmer things. haha, sorry for the confusion.

i have a merino/alpaka mix yarn, colours are plum and black.

Ah, cuffs. So much fun to knit.
