I knit the super fast Noelle Capelet last month but forgot to share it with you, the weather was so nice I just put it away.  Today was the perfect day to pull it out, chilly and rainy and ideal for my Lima Capelet.

I love the versatility of these little capelets.  I think they are easy to wear and nice to pop on for some quick and stylish warmth!

I used the beautiful Rowan Lima in a light brown, color #888.  Lima is worsted weight and has a chain construction out of baby alpaca and merino wool.  It's lofty and lovely to knit up.


I have used Lima previously for the Hourglass Sweater (GREAT pattern!!!)  Only after just a few wears the sweater grew in length and I had to pass it on to my daughter who after a year gave it back to me.  It's still in great shape and I was able to thread a thin elastic into the neck hem and bring it back up to the correct size.


So, knowing that, I would not use this yarn for something that has to really "fit".  But the yarn is so soft and lofty and warm that I knew I would be OK with this capelet.  If it grows it won't matter.

Really must make Hourglass again, but right now I'm finishing two projects (Water's Edge and a shawl) and started a third, (Creature Comforts Cardi out of Kid Classic) and have several Christmas gifts started or in my head.  I will be posting another project very soon, until then, happy knitting!
