60 quick knits
Tuesday, May 11, 2010Twenty hats, twenty scarves, twenty mittens in cascade 220. Yep, an entire book devoted to one yarn. I like that. I also really like cascade 220. I find it to be a good quality yarn, affordable (it looks like webs is having a sale), and comes in just about every color under the sun. And speaking of the sun, I find these small "tote around" projects to be the perfect projects for summer knitting.
I'm absolutely head over heals for those plaid mittens. They sort of remind me of a vintage thermos. Mittens for adults and children. Fair Isle mittens, bird cage mittens, cable cuff mittens, bunny mittens, tweed mittens, checkered mittens, the list goes on.
Libby has been wanting me to make her a beret and I think I finally found a pattern she likes. (It just so happens I have a hank of off white in the stash.) Hats for adults and children. Hats with bobbles, cables, patterns and stripes.
Fingerless gloves fall into that mitten category. I have always wanted to make myself a pair of those flip top mittens. I think I found the perfect pattern.

ReplyDeleteI signed up at the Pgh Knit/Crochet Festival to win a copy of this book....and didn't. Hoping I have better luck here.
ReplyDeleteYou've piqued my interest again!
This would be nice to have for summer knitting. Thx for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI am so interested! You make an excellent pitch for the book, by the way. :-)
ReplyDeleteI, too, love the idea of a book full of patterns geared to one specific yarn. I lack the experience/confidence to always know what kind of yarn to substitute in patterns. That can be a problems since I have no LYS (just a Hobby Lobby). I do have several skeins of Cascade on hand that I bought from a small craft shop that went out of business last year. I would have such fun with this book! :-)
Looks adorable, please put my name in the hat!
ReplyDeleteI saw this book recently and thought, "what a great go-to pattern book!" I think Cascade 220 is a great utility yarn too! In fact its my favorite for felting. I'd love to win : )
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting us know about the yarn sale. I'll stock up on it. Oh, and I would love to win the book :).
