The latest...
I've finished another set of wrist warmers. Can't decide if they will be a birthday present or Christmas present.
I started another camo earflap hat but hated the feel of the yarn, so I ripped it. I used the Red Heart yarn shown in a previous post. I had to use three strands of yarn to get the gauge. The hat felt so stiff and rough that I wouldn't wear it, so why continue knitting and give it to someone else? The original pattern calls for Lorna's Laces Shepherd Bulky. I went to their site and they don't appear to sell direct. So I looked for a retailer seller in my area and found one in Stockton. I emailed them asking if they carry it or could they order it for me and they haven't replied. I also looked at ebay, but none are selling that specific one. I'll wait until I can use the actual yarn before knitting another hat for my nephew.
I am currently knitting a scarf called "Besotted". It has been slow going. Need to kick up my efforts.
It has turned cold and rainy here which makes me think of knitting an afghan.
Found an adorable baby hat to knit for a co-worker. Left the pattern at work. I'll link it next time I write.
I've been reading a book for my bookcrossing group. It's calledFive Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. It started out slow and I almost gave up. Then I got into it and I'm almost done.
Off to get my knitting bag......... Have a great day!
