The new super-bulky hat is almost done. Spunky Eclectic calls it “hotrod”, but I think it looks like a tropical sunrise. There is one problem… I need a bit more yarn. I have been avoiding superwash yarn from the very beginning of my knitting endeavors and right now I have a completed hat and some white DK. I have some acrylic….
I had been hoping that the hat could be washable, so adding in some regular wool is not really an option. Anyway. I would not have wanted to try to bind off in that super-super bulky handspun (it got a bit fat toward the ends.) This really is not a huge trauma. If I got my act together and dyed the superwash DK, I might even be best pleased with the results.
No work on the “Endpaper Mitts” (still at that first row of colorwork). No spinning done.
Yes, I realize that this would be more interesting with pictures. Yes, I skipped the summary.
Sounds you got more done this weekend than I did. I was a little lazy and just reorganized a few yarn shelves and knit 3 inches on the new Malabrigo scarf.
Give the dying a shot it may work out just fine and if it doesn’t then you are not really any worse off. Have a nice Monday
