We drove all the way to the other end of town, my 15YODS who I need the yarn to make a helmet liner for and I, so he could get driving practice in, and at the store on the other end of town (Beverly's), they had a much nicer and better supply of yarn (now I am going to have to go over there every time I want to look at yarn), and we ended up getting charcoal gray (It looks like a light charcoal gray to me, which was not what came across on my monitor) Cotton-Ease yarn to make his helmet liner with. I am hoping one skein will make two. I did my gauge swatching while waiting at the vet's today, and after about 4 false starts on knitting in the round, I now have about 2 inches of hat done. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it.

I am not really good at double-points -- I am a big klutz and am always dropping/shoving/whatever them out of the work and losing stitches. So I bought a needle set with different size needles and cables, and that works for me. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence. |
