This past weekend I wanted a fast and easy project to use up some skeins of Manos del Uruguay 100% wool that I've had in my stash forever. They were on sale when I got them and I liked the color. I knitting up a Foliage Hat from Knitty!
Check out the sweet plucking job I do to my unibrow.This pattern was super easy, super fast and I really liked the end result. The yarn though I wasn't a big fan of. To be honest, this probably isn't the best pattern to choose for this yarn, but I couldn't decide on anything else. I have loads of it left and I was debating if I should make a So Called Scarf from ImagiKnit, but I still don't know because I don't think the scarf would be as interesting if the yarn isn't variegated.
I won't be doing that as my next project though, I need a break from that yarn. Right now, my mind is whirring away on possible new projects to do. I think I've made a decision, but we'll see. I really want to take a break from knitting altogether and do some sewing, but my improv sewing table happens to be overrun with books that were lifted off the floor of our bedroom after the great flood of '08. Since we haven't gotten bookshelves yet, or new hardwood floors, or even tacked the carpet back down, I'm not holding my breath that sewing will be done any time soon. Forging on!
