What would you knit with 2 kilos of alpaca?

GREAT! Thanks for that link - they also have hat blocks. I'm totally getting some.

The photos of slippers made with the lasts are new. They look really cool :cool:


I have the pattern (plus the one top left). Lemme know if you want it.
What size does it go up to? I haven't learned how to adapt patterns yet so if their L is 40in I'm scuppered :)

consider yourself scuppered!
Fucking Debbie Bliss :mad: There are patterns now for gurt large ladies like myself (well just over a size 20 :rolleyes: ) but they usually look like they'd even be too frumpy for Womens Weekly readers.

eta - could you scan it and send it to me anyway? It's just it looks like a simple enough pattern and may be quite easy to enlarge. I'm waiting for a book that teaches you how to design your own patterns. When I've got it I'm going to piss on Debbie Bliss' fireworks and also Hanne Falkenburg who won't sell her paterns without you buying her own shetland wool :mad:

I saw a Dawn French book of patterns on ebay but they all looked a bit 80's and geometric, if you know what I mean.
