Black Yarn Oops

Posted on December 9, 2015 by atangledyarn84

I started up with my Mini Thermal Vest I started for Jellybean back in June. I got about this far…

And I hated the fabric which is why I set it down. It was too loose and open on the US 8 needles I was using. So I put my big girl panties on and swatched. The magic number turned out to be US 7s.

I’m flying now, gotta love big yarn on big needles. There is a pattern there I promise. It’s just impossible to photograph this inky black yarn. It’s knit picks shine worsted. I’m hoping to have this ready for church on Christmas Eve with the family!

Happy Knitting!!

Oh, black yarn might be my least favorite color to knit with! Gotta have some good light for that.

I just finished black baby booties. I love to wear it, but it sure is hard to knit with.

Once made a black aran sweater for my cousin. I could only knit in full daylight, it was subtle but really nice.

I hate being forced into big girl panties, usually they are right
