Since I found this KAL, I have realised that I have alpaca or alpaca blends in my stash in every weight from lace to worsted, but that I don't have many finished projects to show for myself. So hopefully this will help me to reduce my stash and add some alpaca FOs to my name!
I had thought that my first project was going to be the "Blue Curacao Shawl" from Doris Chan's Amazing Crochet Lace, in Berroco's Ultra Alpaca in a heathered blue colorway. But I have decided to save that for February and make it my first Project Spectrum project. So instead, I have started a "Bejeweled" scarf in Nashua Handknits' Ivy. It is a wool/alpaca blend with a silver thread running through it, and as soon as I found it at Webs a few weeks ago, I knew it would be perfect for Bejeweled. It must be a fairly new yarn, however, because the company's website is still under construction.I can't wait to see what everyone else is up to!

I'm so happy you shared this with us! I'm a Project Spectrum participant also, and can't wait to see what everyone does for that.
The Bejeweled scarves are looking rather lovely, yours looks extremely cozy.
