Thank you very much for the well wishes. I greatly appreciate them and yes, three weeks later, I am finally feeling better.

On the fiber front, not much is going on so sorry, no pictures at this time.

First off, I started a double knit wool hat. Then I stopped the double knit hat. Why? Gauge. My gauge was way off ’cause the pattern did not indicate if gauge was in regular or double knit stockinette. I based it on regular stockinette. Therefore, my 21″ hat became a 26″ hat. (go ahead and laugh…) Luckily I was only about 4-5 rows in. I’ll try that one again later.

I’m still working on these socks. The good news is that I’m at the ribbing so I’ll finally get these off the needles and I can start a new pair of socks. The question is… for whom. However, there is no question that I will be using US size 3 needles. No more of this US size 2 stuff for a bit.

Also, I have a question about alpaca. I have family who is allergic to wool but I still wanna make some socks for them. I’ve read that alpaca is more hypoallergenic than wool, but I’d love to hear from someone who knows for sure.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned. I bought some yarn for a new Periwinkle Beret. Pictures coming soon! (Guess what color yarn? )

ttfn!
