Well, not literally running. And not either of The Princes, but rather the artist formerly known as the Artist Formerly Known as Prince. And actually, it's not that at all - it's Purple Haze, not Purple Rain... I guess the fact that I grew up in the 80s rather than the 70s makes me associate purple with Prince, not Hendrix...Phew. Anyone else confused yet??
What I am, of course, trying to talk about is my new scarf, Purple Haze, done in Tunisian crochet using another alpaca blend yarn, this time by Wendy. I'm not sure why I gravitate to alpaca wools - I do have sensitive skin, and they are less scratchy than sheep's wool, and also, it's just a cool word, which I'm also into being an English teacher... But there's also the fact that alpaca is everywhere! We've obviously hit a trend. (And I've got another 3 balls of alpaca stashed away for a new project... heeheehee...)
Anyway, whatever your favourite animal, this is a lovely light and snuggly scarf to wrap up in. And judging from the frost on my lawn this morning, winter's a-comin'!!
