2022: NEW STASH OF YARN

Kar and Jer are going to have some interior painting done soon and Kar was going through her yarn and sorting out yarns and projects she knows she doesn't want to finish- so I get them. wow huge bag of assorted yarns. Some cottons some wools

This ought to keep me busy for a long time.




















such wonderful colors!

October 26

started a hat using the Lambs Pride

cast on 90 stitches on to #8 circular needle

1& 2 - K2 P2

3 & 4- K1 P2

5- Knit all

repeat until 6 inches long then decrease and cast off.


cast on the stitches and knit a row and realized it was a mess of tangles pulling from center. I always , mostly, roll into one or two balls first. So since it was a pain in the butt to begin with a cut a long tail and ended up winding the yarn  into 2 balls..It is progressing now. LOL

progress on the red yarn, which after getting halfway through the hat the yarn was fraying and breaking fun! I finished the hat and will take a photo eventually. The brown lams wool hat was delightful to work with/

more of that red yarn that frayed and broke-

The red hat shrunk when washed so must have been more wool than suspected! fun with yarn without a label LOL

the above red hat shrunk a lot when washd carefully. so may end up as a pot holder LOL

January 23

This yarn form the stash I wound into 2 balls and did the same with some left over white 100% wool and I am making a double strand iCord belt.

the above icord belt ended up being a window draft dodger for one front window here.
