Being an “ADHD” type of crafter, although I had lots of other projects to work on, I decided I needed to organize my semi-obscene collection of yarn (darn you thrift/charity shops – why do you have to have so many good yarn deals?!?!)
While rummaging through my yarn stash I came across this yummy “hot mess of yarn”, which appears to be two skeins of yarn:
Wouldn’t that make a delicious hat and matching scarf?
I do not have anything like that in my current collection of handmade hats:
They all look sort of “tired” compared to the colors in that yarn. Oh and speaking of “tired”, I keep using the same pattern over and over again because it is easy and comforting to knit.
Okay dusting off the knitting needles and adding a new project to my chair in the living room when watching television in the evening! I’ll update you on the progress…
(oh no, just realized I need to roll the skeins into balls before I start knitting – ick!)

Yes and thanks! I did make a little mistake already (the piece twisted) and had to rip it out and start again but I will keep going 🙂

It will be perfect for a hat; a burst of colour in the Winter. It looks like just the right amount too.

It’s going to be (is?) a spectacular hat. Hope the untangling didn’t take too long.

looks like a “single” in that it’s not been plied with another thread, watch out for twisting and jostling – it has character as well as colour…

I had a challenge at first with twisting my circular knitting and had to start over on the hat but I’ve gotten pretty far while on holiday right now (visiting friends in California). The yarn had inconsistent widths but I got used to knitting with non uniform yarn for the first time 🙂
