Yarn Along



Over the two weeks Tiny was recovering from his tonsil and adenoid surgery I got a ton of knitting and spinning done! I have quite a few other projects but I'll hold off sharing them until they are finished up.  To start I finished up an Outlander Cowl. I used Cascade Yarns Pure Alpaca it is a beautiful orange color that I think is perfect for Fall. I had plans of selling or gifting this cowl, but I've decided I need to keep it for myself.  I have quite a few other Outlander Cowls, but I have them as samples and I can't wear them, so this one will be mine to wear as much as I want :) 

If you have seen me at a kids birthday party, bus stop, doctors waiting room, car ride, camping trip.... you have probably seen my "Never Ending Scarf". It is a mindless knit I am doing. I am just knitting in a round and not following a pattern. I purchased the yarn from Chelsea Yarns and I have had it with me where ever I go. I am using US 1 circular needles. I realized the other day that I am almost out of yarn! Since I hardly ever do more than 5 rows at a time this has been a long long long project.


It has been all crinkled up in my bag and I was shocked how long it is getting when I pulled it out for pictures.


I haven't woven any of the ends in, but since it is for me I think I am going to let them all hang out in the center. I'll be the only one that knows it isn't finished properly.  I can live with that.


Have a wonderful day!

Both are just lovely! Love the color of the cowl especially. I'm happy to have it cool down a bit here in the USA and get out some wool.

Best,
