Now it didn't start as this giant ball, in fact it began as 3 separate skeins of Noro Kureyon
colorway 170 and it was knitted into this shawl, a free pattern called Be Simple that can be seen here.
However after knitting these 3 skeins I couldn't convince myself that I really liked this shawl. I didn't like how wide it was getting and it was very dense, which is my fault because I used Noro Kureyon when I should have used Noro Kureyon SOCK - a much lighter weight yarn. Oh well, at least with yarn you can re-knit it. I had purchased this yarn with this pattern in mind - The Original Half Granny Square Shawl - another free pattern you can see here. I think I'll try this pattern instead.
And then there is my Pamuya shawl - here's a link to that pattern but it isn't a free one.
This one is also in time out as I need to frog several rows to get back on track. I haven't been in the mood to do that so it has been sitting in a basket next to my chair for weeks. It isn't the shawl's fault, it is mine. Bad knitter!
I really should just stick to socks like this pair I knit with Opal yarn. I forget which line it was, sorry.
A lovely pair of fraternal twin socks, my favorite kind to knit... mindless... but always come out great.
I think I'll go cast on another pair of socks. I need a project that I know will work out.
happy knitting -
carol fun
