Cast On: Sharing Creativity SB

I decided to wind and start something with the Caracol that I picked up last month.

I chose the Sharing Creativity SB pattern from Pamela Kay. It was made for this yarn and I thought that was prudent. So far the yarn is lovely to work with. These needles however, are very hard to make increases with. Super annoying in fact.

This will be a cowl that has a point in the front. It should keep the wind out nicely. I am curious to see how much yarn this eats up. I have two skeins just in case.

Happy Knitting!!

Trying Caracol

It’s been really tough work this year and I was tempted by the Yarn Barn window while I was on a lunchtime walk during my work day.

I perused the sale section, got a pair of needles to replace ones that broke and didn’t really find anything super exciting. So I went to the malabrigo section and fell in love with this super bulky Caracol. It has a black ply that wraps around a changing core yarn.

I can’t help but think this would knit up to look like stained glass. I think thinking a simple stockinette bulky cowl. I have 180 yards or 300 grams to work with. I can’t decide yet if I will just invent a pattern or find one to work from. And in the meantime this yarn served it’s purpose in lifting my mood!

Happy Stashing!!
