Mailed out eight kits and two hats today, trying to get stuff done before the holidays close the post office. Then I gave someone a ride, which took up another hour, and now I’m back at the Jayne mines again. At the moment I’m working out gauge on some Berroco Ultra Alpaca doubled. I’m knitting a Jayne in it on size 9’s, but I think it’s a little dense. How is it possible that I have no size 10 Addi Turbos, 16 inch length? I’ll try it on 10 1/2s and we’ll see how it goes. I’m a fairly loose knitter, though.
I’m using Ultra Alpaca because this client was concerned that Lamb’s Pride might be itchy on her giftees’ sensitive scalps. She’s also getting several different colors, so I’m delighted to work with something besides orange. The denim blue I’ve got is absolutely gorgeous. It would work up great in a sweater for pretty much anyone.
I’m enjoying the Fall leaves. I always do. Obviously my Yankee mother’s influence. Thanks, Mom.
