100 x simple
Tuesday, December 05, 2017
This was by far one of my favorite pieces to knit. It's mindless which is absolutely perfect when you need to concentrate on a conversation. Or a book. Or the TV. Or while having a glass of wine. Or in the movies. Or just when you want to totally space out. I realized I absolutely always need a knit like this in my life!
The yarn is what keeps this interesting. Other than that it's round and round and round you go.
Using a provincial cast on, you then knit in the round using size 8 (or 7) needles. My friend, Linda, found the pattern and yarn at Spun in Ann Arbor. She whipped it out one morning at knitting and 3 of us were on the phone with the nice peeps at Spun ordering our own. It takes 4 balls of Fiber Mill Crazy. No two skeins are alike. However, if you have a color pallet you like that can make it easy.
My sister, Shelly, has made 3 of these. This lighter version is one of hers. That will sort of tell you how fun this is to make. It's a lofty knit which makes it easy to travel with. And then, easy to wear.
