After deciding the main knitting project I took away with me was too challenging, then simplifying the gloves, I realised that I was all foggy headed because I’d picked up a bit of virus. After a few days I was better, my head cleared, and I’d added a twisted stitch weave pattern to the back of the gloves that similar to what I wanted around the wrist. It was easy. So then, of course, I started thinking about frogging the gloves and starting again because, while they were coming out okay, they didn’t look the way I had originally intended.

I decided to sleep on it, then the next day I wasn’t sure either way, so I figured I better give it more thought. The only other project I’d brought was some cotton blend sock yarn for a crochet hat, so I started on that. Being sock yarn, it’s slow going. Round and around and around…

Thanks to Ravelry, and a phone call to double check, I knew that the ACS wool mill was now open today so I dragged my friend back there for some serious stash enhancement. Once again I forgot to take a photo of the shop. Actually, I did remember at one point, but then something distracted me. Probably yarn. So I got the beau to take one of us when we got home.

That’s me on the right. My friend has more yarn. Honest.

More on what I bought later.
