Kiss My Knits!

Just some Le Fibre Nobili “Geisha” yarn. I’ve got some in a beautiful cabernet, but apparently there’s a run on fuzzy black yarn across the entire country. See, knitting is really hot right now (finally! I’m in on a trend!) and one of the biggest things going right now is the “scarf in an hour” craze. See, if you get big needles and fuzzy yarn, you can knit up a really cool fluffy scarf without a big investment of time. You only need to know one stitch, too! The problem is that I want to make this scarf but I can’t get the black. Nuts.

On the up side, the Lamb’s Pride bulky for the husband’s manly hat arrived in the mail today. One skein oatmeal, one Turkish olive, one black. So I can make him (at his request) a hat to match his green convertible. Of course, if it’s going to be cold enough to wear the hat, it’s going to be too cold to put the top down, but it’s the principle of the thing. I’m planning on using the Hothead pattern from Stitch ‘N Bitch, a book I heartily recommend to anyone who wants to learn to knit.

I’ll keep you posted, as I know you are all on the edge of your seats!
