I needed a large amount of alpaca for this project, maybe about 2 pounds so I took all of the alpaca that I have purchased over the last few years from different alpaca farms in my area and threw them all together into one large bag and just started spinning whatever ends came out of the bag.  Fortunately they all are the same color.  I'm spinning it worsted and lace weight approx. 24 wpi.   So far I've got approx. 700 yards. 

  I knit the back with out any problems and then started the left front.  Got confused right away by the symbols.  Thought it was because it takes me awhile to get used to knitting from a chart.  As usual I jumped right in before reading the whole instruction sheet and didn't notice that it states in the legend that the cable symbols are shown, from top to bottom, in the order in which they are encountered.
This is exactly what I love about ravelry, you can  get in touch with the designer for any help that you might need.  Thank you Carol Sunday for your help!
Left front is coming along very nicely and fairly quickly. 

I'm finding that  safety lines are a must for me after unraveling the left front once or twice.  Put them in at row 18
