gimme teh slouchies!

That Pretty Puffs Slouchy Hat is so cute, quick, and easy...I see myself making lots of them for people this Christmas. I'm keeping my Tweedle Dee one, but the light blue Dolcetto is going to Ally. I'm currently making one in light yellow Dolcetto for JoJo. I want more Dolcetto! I now really regret not buying them when I saw them on sale at JoAnn's. :( :( So much for being good and not splurging on yarn I don't have an immediate need for....this is why we need to follow our instincts and buy yarn when we feel the urge to! :D I now need another cheap option for these hats, something that will give me a wider choice of colors. Actually it probably doesn't even need to be that cheap since I'll only need one ball and maybe just a bit over 100 yards. I suppose this is where Ravelry's stash feature comes in real handy.

When I saw my aunt this weekend she said that she wouldn't really wear scarves, but she really liked the Garden Scarf I made and would wear that if I made it, because it's more of an accessory than a scarf. That means...I'm frogging that cat's paw scarf. It's funny how knitters say sometimes you knit something and it just doesn't feel right so you can't finish it. In the case of this scarf, it's so true! There's just 2 things I don't like about it....the garter stitch for one. Secondly, it's not very symmetrical - in the pattern at least. I don't think you can tell so much by looking at it, but I couldn't get into the groove of it. It just didn't make sense to me on a logical level. That's okay tho. The cashmere probably would have been wasted as a lace scarf. I think the yarn would rather be a pair of wristwarmers. :) Perhaps I'll make a Fetching out of it, or just use that pattern for the WoW wristwarmers - arctic gloves of the wolf or something. That'd be cute, with some beads in it for added sparklies. :D
