I’m taking a pause from the crochet sweater because, surprise!, I need more yarn. I mean, I have yarn, but not what I need. It’s fine. I have three knitting projects that need to get done, or at least make some real progress on, so I can start something new.
This beauty has been with me for a while and I’m so close to being done with the shawl part. To make the hood I’m going to, yep, buy more yarn. I seriously underestimated how much I’d need. While I love knitting this, it can get dull.
When I get bored with the shawl, I switch to this cozy scarf. My first double-knit project. I’ll be working on this forever more. It’ll be worth it when it’s done.
When I get tired of the scarf, I work on this cowl for a bit. Untangling all the bobbins can get frustrating. Lessons have been learned. I want it big, and this time I’m fairly certain I have enough yarn.
I’m working on my favorite part of the pattern now. The grey rows get boring, but changing colors for the horizontal stripes is fun. I’m thinking one more section of grey blocks and one more round of stripes should do the trick. Then it’s a matter of if I have enough purple for the other hem, or if I should just use another color. Decisions. Decisions. (I know I said I have enough yarn. I do. Just maybe not enough of the same color).
