Knitty's Blanket
For the blanket, I wanted a varigated yarn. As knitpicks only has multicolored yarn for socks, I had to branch out. I decided on cascade 220 painted. So far I am really pleased with it. It is knitting up really easily. My problem really is that I think there is something wrong with the pattern. For the middle rows from about 10 to 25 there is on stitch less and then magically it shows up again. The first time I thought I had made a mistake, but it happened the second time through, so I have decided it's not my fault. Otherwise I think it will be really pretty when its done.

My friend wanted a scarf out of the Twist yarn from Knitpicks. I was very skeptical at first cause I thought it looked ugly on the website and when it arrived the ribbon and the orange brown looked very separate. It also felt a little like crepe paper. I have been pleasantly surprised so far. Knitted it comes together quite nicely, much more flexible than I had thought. The only complaint I have is that sometime the ribbon frays away from the loop.

Starting Etsy
I wanted to start this blog so that if anyone ever wandered over from my Etsy store they could see what I was working on before it went on sale. I just posted 8 hats. I had no idea it was going to take so long to put them up. I have such a hard time doing descriptions. I still have to do my profile, but how do you start the 200 or less words describing yourself?
I loved this sock. I think the herringbone pattern was so pretty. I ripped it out though for the technicolor hat. I didn't have enough for two socks anyway.
