Gift Yarn and One Point Five of Fifty-Two

Nova Knitter was in the store today, and she gave me this ball of cotton yarn. She bought it to make her granddaughter a sweater but didn't like it. I think I'll make a baby hat with it. I know someone who just had a baby girl, or I can keep it til I see if I have a niece in November.

I finished one sock for the Littlest One. The toe is kinda short, but it will do. It's this pattern, but I just did the rib, no four rows of stocking stitch at the top. I want to make a pair the same for the Oldest One, but I'll have to increase the stitch count. I think the next pairs for them with this yarn will be stocking stitch. The yarn looks better in this sock on the stockinette sole. (Brooklyn Handspun in Thomas the Train colorway.)

Heddy was in the store for a visit today, too. She started Hederas and was stumped a bit. She's on track now, I think. She had her Austermans on, and I really liked them. I have the same colorway (Whiskey) on my list I want the boss to order. I'll have to get one if/when we ever get it in.

Not much other than that to tell. I started one of these with some of this. The yarn isn't bad, but I find it goes twisty on me, and that's annoying a bit. I may try one out of this, too. It's got the exact same yardage, and it seems to be quite similar all around. The bag I'm making now is mine, and I also have a different shade of Noro to make another one for a friend. If the SWS works I will have to use it for another one for another friend. (Unless I get some more Noro or try Classic Wool.)

Happy knitting!
