Last week R, Joe and I took a small vacation to Eureka Springs, AR. I finally found the yarn shop there! It only took a year.
The shop had Rowan yarn. Not a lot but some. Turns out it was all yarn that has been discontinued. I purchased 2 skeins of Rowan Plaid yarn in browns. It is a chunky weight and it 218 yards for the two skeins. Gah, what to do with it? Why did I buy brown? I don't even like brown. Well, I bought it because it is Rowan and what is my child's name, Rowan.
More about naming Rowan later.
Okay, so back to the point, I don't like brown. I don't wear brown. Tans blend too much into my skin tone when I have a tan and right now I have a deep tan (deep for me).
I have decided to make birthday presents for Joe and Rowan. Joe has plans to get Rowan on a deer stand pretty often this year. I am going to make them neck warmers or hats. I will probably make R a neck warmer since I think the more orange the better and Joe a hat. The hat he can wear for duck hunting too.
Yay! That will use up the yarn and provide presents.
I am terrible. I have not been working on my Christmas knitting. I have been hexipuffin' it instead. Here some photos:
I have 2 blankets going- HUGE hexipuff blanket with "dish" cotton and the normal sock weight blanket.
