Riveting

This pretty yarn, Riveting from Kollage, is made from 100% recycled blue jeans!

Porcupine Topper

I like to knit baby hats because they are cute, fast, and fun. Luckily, I know people who are going to be having babies soon. I'll give other finished objects to charity. My most recent project is the Porcupine Hat designed by Woolly Wormhead. I used Jeannee DK by Plymouth Yarn, a cotton/acrylic mix. The yarn is very soft but I found it to be very splitty as well. Probably not the best choice for a project with these little worms which required repeated cable cast on and bind off.

Yesterday, I finished this ribbed cap from One-Skein Wonders. On to a new project!

Note: this was made with Mission Falls 1824 cotton.

Yummy Yarn

Even though I've taken knitting classes in the past, I forgot everything I knew, so I am starting over with a "new knitters" class. The project is a felted bag, but since I don't use wool, we had to adjust so I am making a cotton bag instead with the great yarn pictured here. Just what I need...another expensive hobby!
