03.23.2005 :: Sneak Peek

softness

Here's a sneak peek at my finished Shedir hat. It's knit in creamy alpaca and is very comfy. The yarn doesn't knit up with the pretty stitch definition that I would have gotten with Calmer, but the overall effect is kind of fuzzy and nice.

I'll post a full-size picture later...

Attention Crock-Pot Shoppers
Tired of dyeing in one of those little 5-quart crock pots? Pure chance had someone leave a Kohl's sale flyer on our table at lunch yesterday. I noticed that this Rival 18-quart roaster is on sale today for $30. I've been planning on buying this roaster. Looks like today is the day!

Kohl's has the best sales on stuff like that! Shedir is lovely - can't wait for a full picture. Fun to think about those other yarns we looked at...

What pretty stitches, though, even without HD. Are they traveling, or are they cables?

More! More! and xox to the pups!

I recognized it right away! It's beautiful. The stitches show up just fine. And watch out, it's very addictive. I've made 2 so far though it is one of those patterns that really hurts my hands. :)

Mary,

The hat is beautiful and I love in white. How many ounces (pounds) of roving do you think that crockpot would hold?
