knitting is awesome

oatmeal
bandana cowl

well these past three weeks have been fairly prolific when it comes to my knitting. i'd been wanting to try quince and co. yarn for a while because 1-every project on ravelry made with any of their yarns look amazing, 2- their colors are pretty rad and 3- it's made in the USA of american wool... which is awesome and a good enough reason in itself (to me anyways). i bought 5 skeins of puffin in honey to make the jane richmond oatmeal pullover and i LOVE the way it came out! it was nasty easy, totally serious. if you're afraid to try knitting a sweater because it's intimidating this sweater is the one for you. it took me less than two weeks of non-crazed knitting from start to finish.

then, lucky for me i had a whole skein and a half leftover so i had instant yarn to make the purl soho bandana cowl which i wanted to make wicked bad anyways. that took me less than a day to make. i had to modify the pattern a lot because the yarn is the wrong weight for the pattern but i put the notes up on ravelry if anyone wants to use this yarn and skip the math bullshit.

knitting is weirdly fun.
