In The Skein Of Things.

After nearly "frogging" a whole male adult 12 ply cardigan last Saturday, I had to wait for the beautiful rain to clear up.

Today is that day....yahoo....




Ten skeins ready to be washed. Decided that was a good number to start with as I have never seen this being done.





After hunting down the coat hangers to make sure I hadn't aimed too high, into the hot water with wool wash...... the skeins went for a couple of hours. The hot water helps to relax the wool.

I had faith in the people encouraging me to take this step, but after seeing the wool so creased with the memory of the pattern....... I was doubtful, but knew it would work.



That is were I am up to at the moment. Looks like spaghetti hanging out on the line. Once its dry, I'll ball it and then its ready to be re-knitted up again. Same pattern, just a smaller size.

I just can't get over how this project is getting me as excited as what it is.

FAB TAB recycling.

Boy I really must love Pat to go to all this trouble (not that it is that) to have him wear his cardigan and have it fit properly.

Until next time....hoo roo
