WIP-it Wednesday...
...and looking forward to the 4-day weekend!
Over the weekend, I did a stash dive and found some appropriate yard for the Avocado Cozy I was commissioned to make. I found some Knit Picks Palette yarn that was the right color, but the wrong weight. The pattern called for worsted weight and Palette is fingering. I decided to knit it using 2 strands of the yarn.
I decided to make a prototype to see how the pattern worked and how the yarn behaved. I knew that I didn’t want to make a chain stitch tie, so I tried an i-cord tie with one strand. I got about an inch in and knew it would work, but it was not going to be sturdy. I made some twisted cord instead adding a strand of darker green for some interest. That looks great! I’ll give this one to my daughter as a gag gift for her Christmas stocking.
I started the second cozy for my friend. After that one, I may make another to try my hand at helical stripes.
