[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Successful Saturday

[slery]

Well, I am just now catching up on email as I had to do prep for a 
procedure and then of course, the procedure and sleeping the rest of 
that day.

So, the "knit" version of the cat pod I was trying needs some work on 
the pattern. Maybe it was for a different gauge or chunky yarn with 
giant needles. However, I used a number 4 yarn and size 10 (this is big 
for me as I like the 3-5 range). It came out more of a tube (think the 
shape of a cucumber) and the yarn I was using is very soft and pliable 
so it had no substance.

Therefore, I frogged that and I am now making a cowl to donate to a 
local shelter this winter. In fact, I think I am going to use up some of 
my stash that isn't enough for projects I want to make to make more of 
the cowls. This gives me a project that is portable because the hexagon 
sweater is no longer portable and requires more thinking. I am moving 
some stitches to a holder so that I can start going up the front and I 
think if I make this again that I will start on the front instead of the 
back.
