Alpaca Pi in Parsley

The alpaca Pi shawl is ripped back a few rows to start the diamond patterning. That's the parsley and pennyroyal patch in the yard. It's about the only thing besides the tomatoes patch that are green right now. It looks like a top down tam o'shanter at this stage :). This lovely yarn is from Sonoma Yarn run by Tillie Angus, in Sonoma California.  The lush alpaca yarn is from Brookfarm Alpacas, and was a Blue Ribbon winning blanket fleece in the color Fawn.....exquisit.
