Potentially Starting a Sweater

Did this swatch to try out some yarn and test the lace pattern for this sweater. I'm on the fence because the yarn is less structured then the recommended yarn, but it's alpaca, and who doesn't love an alpaca? The gauge is a little off too.


And I finished these last weekend for Tyler. Manhand fingerless gloves made out of baby alpaca. Modified this pattern from Knitty.
