Knitting News
Jun. 9th, 2011 09:52 amStopped at the Zellers near my workplace yesterday, in hopes their pet department would have cedar shavings (we have moths in our apartment), but they only had pine. The search continues.
However, I did browse their yarn shelf – mostly acrylic of course, but there were a few kits left over from xmas (and therefore marked down) for making felted ornaments – the yarn was therefore 100% wool. I bought one for $3.50, which netted me a couple of small skeins (one red, on green) at what I figure is about half the price I’d normally pay. I’m trying a miniature fez from the red yarn – I’ve about four more rounds to go before casting off, and I’ve only used about a quarter of the skein. We’ll see how it looks after felting. The pattern is actually to make a fez for your cat, for the lulz, but I think a mini-fez would make a cute cocktail hat, possibly for Dr. Who-themed parties.
