Well, we got home safe and sound late Sunday night. My daughter’s team won all three games, so we move on to the round of 16! Yippee!!
The 14 hours I spent in the car, along with at least three hours for each game (this counts the hour before each game as well as the game itself) left me with quite a bit of knitting time!
Here’s my latest finished project. The name of the pattern is Cash Vero Cabled Tam. I used the Cascade Cash Vero yarn that I purchased from Gail Knits during my trip to Las Vegas.
Here’s the yarn all knitted up…
I have to say that this is a strange looking hat. It’s okay if you think so too. Gail had one knit up in her shop, and it was adorable. I don’t think that mine looks quite like the sample. I think that the pattern had some mistakes in it, but because I don’t know how to adjust patterns, I went with the flow. Some of the cables seem off, but I figure that non-knitters won’t know the difference.
Regarding the yarn…I love it!!! It is wonderfully soft. What do you expect from a blend of Merino and Cashmere! Yummy! I wouldn’t advise knitting with it in 80 degrees on a soccer field.
Yeah, it was a little too warm for cashmere in that kind of weather. It was also a little embarrassing to tell people that I was knitting a hat. C’mon people! I’m AuburnChick, grand planner for the future. We’ll see who’s laughing in about eight months when your ears are freezing.
I finished the hat on the way home, but because I’m such a good planner, I had another ball of yarn for my next project.
I’m using this yarn (I don’t know if you remember it from a previous post, but my friend brought it to me from Tennessee)…
I am making a Drop Stitch Scarf. It is a fast knit except that the ribbon is so slippery! And the idea of dropping stitches goes against everything a knitter feels comfortable doing! Here’s a picture of my progress (18″) so far…
Oh, and thank you for all of the wonderful birthday wishes! I have a really sweet group of readers. 😀
