Life's a Stitch

The purchase of a yarn winder and swift often comes with the need to justify the expense. No justification needed here. All you need is the opportunity to wind the huge hanks of Fleece artist yarn that comes in the cardigan kit. I can’t imagine winding that by hand.

Looking over the cardigan pattern there’s a suggestion to increase the needle size to make a larger sweater. I figure that if there’s enough yarn to do that there must be enough to make the recommended size longer. Here’s hoping. I’ll be depending upon my kitchen scale to monitor how much I’m using.

It’s fun to see what the colours are turning into when knitted. I was hoping the splashes of rust would be more prominent.
