On my needles.
I was gifted some yarn many months ago, sirdar snuggly in 4ply (fingering). It’s a lovely cashmere, merino, silk blend. Being gifted yarn by a non knitter means you don’t get to choose the colour or the amount - and non knitters vastly underestimate how much yarn it takes to make a top!
Anyway, after leaving it all these months it eventually told me it would like to be a stretchy striped base layer, a warm undershirt for the cold UK winter. 2x2 rib on 2.5mm needles.
No pattern, I’ve done the maths and now I’m just hoping I can finish without running out of yarn, I think I may be left with a few centimeters of the blue!
I will have another ball and a half of the red, but I really don’t want another stripe after the armholes so it’s yarn chicken time! Ha!
I won’t be around for a little while, going in for spine surgery in 2 days, but I’ll be back to finish this sweater and the crazy yarn spaghetti intarsia sweater I also have on the go. And I’ll be back to cheer on all my knitting friends here at the forum with all your lovely knitty creations too.
See you on the other side.
