A New Start
This week I indulged a bit in the yarn department and received two yarn orders in the mail yesterday and I had to cast on immediately. I got caught up in the hype surrounding Knit Picks Hue Shift Afghan and decided I needed one of my own. Luckily I ordered my kit on Monday night before they sold out. I've never knit with 100% acrylic yarn because I was afraid of all the negatives everyone cites (rough, squeaky on the needles, etc.) but I am impressed with Knit Picks Brava yarn. It is really soft and I get no squeak using bamboo needles. This pattern is a combination of many things I dread knitting (acrylic, a blanket, garter stitch, and others) but this is a really fun knit! I'm glad I indulged.
I really shouldn't drop my other knitting WIPs for this, but this afghan is addicting. Can't wait to see it grow.
