I think I am done with ribbed beanies for now. The total was 13. I need to get more red scarves done, and I bought a crochet afghan kit for a special gift. Turns out it's a type of crochet I've never done before! Yikes.
This is a vintage yarn, "Giselle" by.... Sears! Yes. It has a very subtle colour change from light blue to light green to white. So subtle, it's hard to see except in bright light. This weighed in at 68gr.
This is one strand of Sirdar Panorama. It's DK, 100% wool, along with a strand of worsted weight beige. It also has subtle colour phasing from rosy to green to just beige. I used it for a sideways knit jacket on my LK150...that I never wear. I actually washed this hat, hoping for the yarn to bloom up a bit. It didn't really. I think I may have used 7mm needles. It weighs 61gr.
This is a yarn that I got from buying something at a thrift store and unravelling. I liked the thick and thin textures, and it has a metallic strand in it. I love teal. It made a really interesting texture. I had enough for two hats.
One was 81gr and one was 79 grams.
This one is one strand pink (from the very first hat I made in this series) and one strand grey. It will be featured in my next YouTube video but i haven't gotten it ready to post yet. This is a dense hat, weighing in at 154grams.
Here's all 13! They've been a great way to chill out on drives, sort of a fiber cleansing between larger projects. This afghan I'm working on will NOT be a portable project, so for awhile I'll work on red scarves (Oh, I bought some more red yarn...must include that! 300gr of Premier "Basix DK", for $13.56).
Yarn In: 500gr + 300gr = 800gr
Yarn Out: 443gr + 3,010gr = 3453gr
Balance: 2653gr more OUT than in
Costs: $29.37
Rob just came in the room and I told him I spent less than $30 on yarn this year. He said he didn't believe it...and asked how much the afghan kit was LOL. Ooops. I'll do that in another post.
