When I bought this yarn on ebay a few weeks ago, I very lazily ignored the weight/gauge of the yarn I was buying, and failed to notice that I was getting a very light sport-weight yarn. I began knitting it up anyway, and I'm so way into it now that I just ordered another skein.
It's a little extravagant, but there are worse habits I could have than yarn. I'm making it into a really light scarf-- decoration, not warmth-- in a roman stripe pattern, which is a very simple lace pattern, the first lacy pattern I've tried. It takes some getting used to, all that k'ing2tog (I speak a different language! All that "knitting two together", which is just knitting two stitches together at once), but I'm loving it. Yes, I know I have homework to do. |
