I knit these two sweaters before I figured out that I have a sensitivity to alpaca. As a result they haven't been worn much. They deserve to be worn so I'm offering them to someone here.
They are both an alpaca/silk/merino blend, soft and slightly shiny from the silk. Very warm. Both fit me (size M, 37" bust) but would fit a range of sizes. (They fit when I was a S too). Both are on the cropped side.
The blue is a cropped hooded cardigan with cabled bands. No closure but you can close it with a big brooch or pin. It could be worn as outerwear in a mild climate.
They grey is a pullover with slightly puffed sleeves and ribbon ties at the back and at the bottom of the v. The ties are adjustable or removable, although the back neckline is quite wide without it.
I do not want to monetize my hobbies, so I am giving these away. I just ask that you pay for shipping. ($10 for the hooded blue, $7 for the grey, or $12 for both in the USA). I also ask that if they don't work for you, you please pass it on to a good home.
Please note: Because this is a somewhat special listing, I'm going to limit this to people who are actually active posters on this forum. I reserve the right to say no if I don't recognize you.
ETA: found another one, a wrap front pullover. This one is lavender, a blend of synthetic and natural fibers (viscose/nylon/angora) with a soft hand. Color is less muddy irl, a pale pinkish toned lavender. It has some neck ties and a hood and a lovely lace edging. The sleeves are wideish and 3/4 length. Shipping for this one will be $10 in the U.S.
UPDATE: The blue and the lavender ones have been spoken for. Grey is still available.
