I have another finished object to show you today:
It’s a neckwarmer (really for me, but well-modeled by my dog Amigo) made using the Morningside Neckwarmer. I used my own handspun for this one: a two-ply yarn made from one ply of alpaca fiber and one ply of bison fiber. It’s very soft and incredibly warm – in short, everything you’d want in a neckwarmer.
This was quick to knit, and as a bonus, I’d say it’s an excellent pattern to use handspun yarn in. Both because it requires a small amount of yarn and because it looks okay if the yarn thickness varies a bit. Although it’s been almost too warm here to wear it in the past few days, I’m sure I’ll get a lot of wear out of it once our temperatures turn more seasonable.

Your dog is SO cute. And he makes a great model for your neckwarmer!
Will you wear your neck warmer for your runs, or just for regular outdoor use?

Cyberpenguin – probably for just regular use. Since it’s made from own handspun yarn and it’s not superwash, I don’t really want to get it sweaty!
