For days, I just sat and thought about knitting—what do I want to knit, what yarn to use, needle size—of course, all those advent projects became available December 1—okay, old gal, just choose one and begin—that’s my brain giving me a pep talk. But, did I begin with one of those Advent ones? Nope! I got myself a Stephen West pattern!
It’s four yarns of varied contrast. I already had a skein of Knit Picks Gloss Lace yarn—ordered three other skeins! Again, I sat and thought about knitting…….
The pattern was printed off—you need to begin somewhere and some time! Once I got started, I was back in my happy place! We’re knitting!! And that’s all I wanted to do when I sit in my comfy chair!
Just knitting away until I discovered that KAL doesn't begin until December 26! Guess I"m well ahead of schedule on that project so I'll relax and turn my attention to one of the other Advent projects.
While looking in my fiber closet for something else, I found this assortment of handspun yarns==some are plied, most are not--looks to be angora bunny, wool, linen/wool blend==yary! this will be perfect for Tricia Weatherston's Advent Mystery infinite loop! So glad I had the yarn on hand and can use my handspun.
As I waited for December advent knitting to begin, I cast on with this bulky cotton yarn (also found in my forgotten fiber stash)
I needed some cotton hot pads and found this easy pattern from Purl Soho— and also from Purl Soho I found a hat pattern to knit for great grandsons
Now, I just need more hands and time to accomplish all this knitting!!
