esther williams started
Remember the yarn stashing trip Andra and I took? I decided to turn my yarn into an Esther Williams hat and possibly some sort of coordinating scarf. The yarn is this pretty ice blue color, it really shows off the stitch definition. It's made by Steadfast Fibers, and is 85% wool 15% mohair, so it sheds just a little. I was really set on using this yarn for this hat, and even though I didn't get gauge with it, I decided I was brave enough to fiddle with the pattern a bit. I needed to cast on a few more repeats, as my gauge was a bit smaller than it should have been. I've also added one more 12 row repeat, which I hope doesn't make the hat too long.
I'm still fairly unsure which pattern I should include in a scarf. I need to go through some of my books and maybe make something up.
A few days ago, Cary and I went to PetCo to get Abby more food (she's a greedy little pig) and treats. I like to get the "bin treats" for her, and tried these new little ones that look like little marrow bones. You'd think she'd love them, being the greedy little pig she is. About a half-hour after I gave her the treat (she sits!) I caught her walking around the house with her mouth half open like she was laughing at me. Turns out, she had been holding the treat in her mouth with no intention of eating it. Silly girl!
