2 new things

i've been getting back in the swing of knitting garments again after an extended break of scarf making. these pieces are simple but i made the patterns from scratch, converted them into stitches and rows and also knitted and took apart the cardigan about 3 times, trying to get the fit right. i made some buttonholes too but didn't really like them so i used 3 precious grosgrain snaps to see what they looked like.

i've had this alpaca yarn sitting around for about 3 years, meaning to do something with it. i don't think i can get it anymore but i just received some new peruvian alpaca yarn samples, which i feel very inspired by.
