Hoods with fluffy yarn
Good Afternoon...
Last week Mom and I were in Michael's and I saw a yarn that really took my eye. Unfortunately, I didn't think to write down the name of the yarn, but it was fluffy like Funny, but softer, and it had slubs through it as well. I thought it would be great to knit up as a Hood/cowl like this one: http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/...html?noImages= Do you think I would cast on the same number of stitches as it shows for the Lion Brand version? Somehow I remember one of the yarn shop owners saying she knit one of the out of Funny and cast on 90 sts, then just kept knitting round and round until she had the length she liked. Sound good? take care, Linda in B.C., Canada |

Hoods with fluffy yarn
It looks just like the pattern they had using some other yarn, which I made
in Jiffy. Jiffy is a fuzzy yarn..... just looked at my bookmark and it now says they used Jiffy, weird. I made it in pastel variegated, which has like a soft purple, yellow, pink. Sounds awful, but it looks good on my soft yellow sweater, and the other 2 colors, which I have a lot of. The pattern is kind of like tubes, and they tend to want to work back together like a slinky. So, it is not wonderful at keeping your head warm. When you get it pulled up, it wants to back off. If you don't make it long enough, it will stop at the place your hairline stops in back, if you do make it long enough, you will have a very spiral-ly neck. All in all, I kind of like it, but it has it problems. I even like to just wear it like a big cowl neck, because my neck/chest gets cold easily, and it's nice to be able to pull it up for a little head protection since it's already there. But I can't say that the Jiffy is really a warm covering, even though you would have thought so. Doesn't sound like I'm helping that much old pattern: http://cache.lionbrand.com/patterns/...tml?noImages=0 -- -Cozy http://blogs.delphiforums.com/n/blog...g=cozy_at_home My crochet forum: http://forums.delphiforums.com/crochetplus/start Happiness doesn't come from having things, it comes from *having things you can find* Linda wrote in message news Good Afternoon...
