Many of my designs were originally designed for alpaca yarn in natural colours. Alpaca is a warm fibre and by many seen as a yarn for winter use. It is therefore incredibly awesome to see so many knitters out there making my designs in multiple fibres and colours and using them all year round!
I love the way Jeanne has styled her Allegro Shawl. Her version is knitted in Purl Alpaca Designs yarn and is 100% alpaca. The open texture of this wrap around design is perfect for wearing all year round. Layers in winter or over a simple top or dress in summer evenings! Just perfect.

Jasmin has made a fantastic version of my pattern Chelsea. She has chosen a yarn from The Fibre Co ( sadly discontinued) called Canopy Worsted. This colour is absolutely superb and suits Jasmin so much. Loving how she has styled it as a crop top! It really makes this such a fab summer garment. You can find out more about the pattern here.
Ali has made some awesome modification to her version of Niobe Jumper. She has chosen a wool/cotton blend in a vibrant coral colour and shortened the sleeves to make a fun summer tee. I absolutely love it! You can find out more about the pattern here.
