While trying to figure out what to knit next, I made a hat.
After ripping out the Shetland Triangle I began looking for another shawl pattern to use that beautiful skein of Fleece Artist Mermaid. I tried a Spinners Shawl and it was better, but not right. The yarn is too much for lace, even simple lace. In the end I followed Gwyneth’s advice and cast on for socks. Perfect.
I still need a shawl to work on, but the only solid yarn I have is green and I do not want another green shawl right now. I also do not want to buy yarn unless I have a specific project in mind. So I guess it is back to socks and Flappies for a bit longer.
Icarus was blocked yesterday. Pics in the next post.
Wow, I love that hat patterning! It looks lovely.
