Yarn Along:
I've gotten back into both Outlander and knitting this week. This bright little hat is almost finished. As I hit the decreases, I started to mull over what should come next. Since I'm traveling, I wanted to be sure to bring enough yarn along. Naturally that meant winding my skein of Empire, which weighs in at a solid 1.7 lbs, a perfectly rational amount of yarn to lug along on a week-long trip. It'll become a Ramona sweater, if I can monkey with the gauge a tiny bit to achieve an in-between size. Peter and I were crunching the numbers before I left. Math is so much more urgent and fascinating when it's about knitting. Suddenly I want to know the right way to figure things out and am not content to let him just give me the answer. It feels good to flex those muscles again.
ahhh, math with a purpose. I would have really loved the subject if they had just applied it to knitting way back when!!!! :)
ReplyDeletepretty colour of yarn there. I am at a point where just understanding a pattern is an achievement!! Never mind figuring out the math in it. LOL Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat a bit of maths when it is combined to a craft project. Have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteA perfectly respectable weight. Beautiful colour, good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colour yarn and that is a fine amount for a week!
ReplyDeleteGreat yarn. I am looking forward to seeing it become something.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty colour!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how a surge in knitting often goes together with a renewed interest in a good television series? I got loads of knitting done when we were watching House of Cards. ;)
Got to try Outlander - I've heard good things about it...
