10 reps! I really wanted to get a lot of ground covered today. I’m almost done. It only took me about five hours to do this, and that wasn’t pure knitting time. If I stick with it, I should be done with it by the weekend.

10 reps! I really wanted to get a lot of ground covered today. I’m almost done. It only took me about five hours to do this, and that wasn’t pure knitting time. If I stick with it, I should be done with it by the weekend.
9 reps completed! I’m just so excited. I’m pretty sure I can get 3 more out of it, which would just be amazing, making it nice and long like a traditional infinity scarf. To date, this is probably one of my favorite projects.
7 reps! It’s really flying by now! I’m hoping to get 12 full reps, but I may only be able to get 11. If that’s the case, I’ll likely make a puffball for the hat with the remainder. I don’t want to waste any.
My plan for my new alpaca yarn is an infinity scarf. I love scarves if you can’t tell. This is the first rep of a celtic knot pattern. It’s so lovely with the color, almost looks ancient to me. I’m hoping to get about 13-14 reps from the yarn I have, but I may go shorter to see if I can get a hat out of it too.
6 reps done. Still working on the second skein, same one from the hat. If I can get one more out of it, and I think I can, then I’ll be able to have 12 total. May even be able to do a puff ball for the hat.
5 reps, a bit more than 25 inches. It can now wrap all the way around my head once, which means I’ll be able to get a scarf and hat out of the three skeins I have. I still have a few rows left in this one.
Meant to get a pic of the blocking, but I forgot. Alpaca is very delicate when wet, so I was worrying over it the whole time. But it’s done now! Three hanks, $60, 1 soggy counter top, and many many man hours, but I finally have a finished alpaca hat and infinity scarf set! I love it. This was also the first time I had blocked a piece, and I feel like it really helped the cables pop out. All in all, this was a very successful project, and I’m pleased with both it and myself.
If you want your own set, message me and we can work out the details :)
Got 4 reps done so far. Only a bit left of this skein, but if I play my cards right, I’ll hopefully be able to get a long enough scarf and a hat out of what I have now. Since it’s an infinity scarf, it has to be long enough to go around my head twice, which is at least 9 reps, and I’d like to end on a full rep.
