Bamboo and Alpaca Chemo Cap

I took the same patterns from the "Just Bamboo" blouse, and added lace weight Alpaca to it and created this chemo cap. It's stretched a bit when I'm wearing it, because I've stuck my hair up inside. Its really, really soft.

Too bad, the photo doesn't really show off the Alpaca. But it adds some depth to the color of the Bamboo. It takes just over one skein of the Bamboo-- so I think I'll add a quick to knit scarf to the pattern. Might as well use up that yarn!

"Just Bamboo" Collared Blouse

The blouse is done! I've worn it a couple of times already and gotten nice compliments on it. Its very comfortable and I like the adjustable waistline tie. I did have to add in a single crochet around the neckline to keep it from stretching out too much.

This pattern is knit using Sirdar's "Just Bamboo". (I got the yarn at Twisted, and they are having a sale on this yarn over the weekend!) I love working with the bamboo. This is made into a ribbon and so it doesn't tangle like the bamboo on the cone does (Silk City Fiber) that I used for "Stormy Sky" sweater and bag.

You can make one yourself, the pattern is now available at Fiber Rhythm Craft & Design.
