Happy Day!!! The lost skein of sock yarn has been found! I'm so glad because starting again and having the lone sock was just a sad prospect. {Doing the Happy Dance}!!!
While I was lamenting the lost yarn, I decided to start a hat for a Christmas gift and it turned out nice. The hat is called Turn a Square by Jared Flood. I used a worsted weight Vanna White yarn that is nice and squishy. The pattern calls for 2 colors of yarn which I didn't do, but that pattern makes the coolest square on the crown of the hat. I started another one but because these are going to wool uneducated people, I have to use machine washable yarn. I'll post a picture soon.
I am becoming a glutton for fiber. I have ordered 2 more braids of fiber from etsy shops even tho I have a lot of yarn and unspun wool at home. One is from Dyeabolical that I talked about the other day, the Polworth/silk in the Kara colorway. Still waiting for the shipment but its on the way.
The new fiber that I purchased is from https://www.etsy.com/shop//NeverEnoughThymeYarn. I got a merino/bamboo/nylon blend, 4 oz, in the Wild Blossom colorway. Jayne Chouinard is the owner, and she had this order in the mail today. That is customer service!! I'll post when the braid comes.
The good news is that it is Thursday and the Odeum Autumn Festival starts today. Rose and I will be going tonight to avoid the strollers and crowds. Looking forward to this evening.
Happy Knitting!!
Show some photos of your lovely hat. Sounds like a fun pattern.
ReplyDeleteIt was a very easy knit but it would have worked so much better with a contrasting yarn. But it was fun.
