The Verdict

Yes, I think I was right!!!



And I have enough yarn left over to knit a matching hat and scarf too.

The only problem is I've made them at the wrong time of year.......I must be the only person in England hoping for another cold snap!!!

Sometime's you just need to shut up and listen .... *

I was so sure my beautiful new yarn wanted to be a lovely snuggly wrap, so a searched through patterns and consulted 'those in the know' ...(i.e. knitty folk!) ...and started on the Prismatic Wrap....

The trouble is I was wrong. Right from the start that yarn kept saying 'Gloves.....I wanna be gloves' .

So I relented............


The trouble with the wrap was that it was going to take up just too much yarn and take forever to knit, so I'm getting a new pair of gloves with enough left over for a scarf. I shall still use the Prismatic Scarf pattern though as I do rather like it.

If I had just listened in the first place I could have saved myself a lot of time!

Happy knitting x

* of course this doesn't just apply to wool :-)
