Start



Today, I finished a knitting project and started a new one.
The project I finished is a scarf for my husband. I haven't taken a picture of it yet but I'll put it here once I do get a pic of it. The pattern I used for it was the Braided Cable Scarf. I enjoyed the pattern. There was one small typo on it, and it took me a while to master, but by the end I had the pattern memorized. I'd definitely try it again next time I need a scarf. Especially with the yarn I used (Cascade Eco +).

I received a shipment of yarn in the mail today! Woohoo! I was alerted to a sale on Cascade Eco + yarn and ordered some. It's usually about $15 a skein, but I got it for about $8 a skein. There is a TON of yarn per skein. $15 is already a good value but $8 is awesome. I've used this yarn in the past to make a Central Park Hoodie before, and it's my favorite sweater, so I decided to try it again. Problem is, I made the hoodie last year, and I guess I threw away all my notes. I know I encountered some errata, made some modifications, and stuff like that, so I really wish I did have those notes.
I guess that's why I am starting this blog. So I can sort of document my progress on my various projects, not just knitting. I have so many hobbies. It is sometimes a joke that I have a new hobby each week.
