How exciting! I’ve always wanted to try the gorgeous Bernat Alpaca yarn, and this rich “Aqua” color has captured my heart.
I’ve chosen to make the lovely “Leaf Pullover” from the All Alpaca pattern book #530165. Luckily, I was able to get gauge with just one swatch, using the suggested needle size. Remarkable!
Before I started knitting the actual pattern, I looked online to see if there were any corrections for the pattern. I went to the Bernat website, and clicked “Pattern Book Corrections” under the “Our Patterns” link. Next, I chose the “All Alpaca” book, then the “Leaf Pullover” pattern. There were a few corrections there for the smaller sizes. I decided to write in the corrections in my booklet, just in case I decide to make a smaller size later. To my surprise, the corrections were not necessary! Bernat had already printed the corrected pattern in the booklet. GO BERNAT!!!
Since my gauge swatch was accurate, and my pattern book was too, I decided to get started knitting. After just one short session, I am halfway through the leaf pattern at the neckline. This is gonna go quickly!

I love the color. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Isn’t it beautiful! Back when my hair was red, I would wear this color all the time. It’s nice to use it for making a gorgeous pullover. Love it!
Gorgeous yarn! I can’t wait to see how the pullover turns out!
Thanks Jen! I’m loving this Bernat yarn and design. Just lovely!
Wow…that is beautiful yarn. Makes me want to run out and get some. Not that I need it but…well, you know…
Yes, I DO know! Beautiful yarn is like poetry to the soul of a knitter. We just have to have more!
That sweater is going to be so pretty! Good for you for checking pattern errata – I always forget to do that!
I’m learning, Julia! I used to just dive in and start every new project…..then would later get to a part that didn’t work correctly. Finally, I would look online for help, and realize that corrections for my pattern DID exist, and the mistake was more than 30 ROWS EARLIER! UGH! Now, I always check for corrections before even casting on.
Just love the colour Sandy! That pullover is gonna be pretty.
And I never thought to check for errata. I’ll have to remember to do that.
I have to remind myself all the time. I STILL forget to check for corrections sometimes. Silly me!
