JUST KNIT THE HAT!

I’m struggling a bit: new routines, putting down the phone, getting all the projects launched this fall. So when I couldn’t stop dreaming about making a hat with my most recent souvenir yarn, I knew it was time to wind the skein and get started. At least I’d be doing SOMETHING, and make shake some of the lethargy loose. 

I hate to admit it, but I was not in love with my souvenir yarn this year. I was in love with the idea that it was only available at that specific Black Mountain, NC yarn shop and that it was inspired by Appalachian sunsets. Therefore I was simply delighted when the yarn cake showed me that the colors would be changing as I knit!! I forgot that Spincycle dyes in this style. 

And the knit yarn does look like a sunset!


I am determined to use every inch of this yarn. I’ve already re-knit the top twice. I’m going to rip back one more time. It will be worth it.
