Sorry, when I logged into blogspot I saw a WEBs picture of the Manos Del Uruguay Silk Blend variegated yarn and started clicking the links..... It seems like all the vidcasters who are doing the Hitchhiker (want to call it the Traveller), seem larger than mine. Guess it didn't help that when I washed my ugly acyllic version, it shrunk because I didn't realize that the washer was on hot.... Murphy's Law I guess.
Decided to knit the Urbana in the red heart oatmeal aran fleck yarn. I am using a size 4 (3.5 mm) needle instead of the 9, I didn't like how it looked. I like the keyhole but the keyhole is a pain in my tuckus. It's like thumbholes in fingerless mitts. /Tried doing the keyhole via a youtube tutorial but did my own caston, guess I wasn't patient enough. If there are 'gusset' type holes I will just do a little sewing on it.
But I am doing another hitchhiker out of some thinner nicer mystery yarn. And yes, it is the purple people eater colorway. Found three balls of the stuff and I might as well try to get it out of my stash. Yeah still allergic to purple. But just want to get it out of my drawer!
