Becoming a habit..

Remember when I'd almost finished Olivia, and I ran out of yarn?

I was lucky, I went to work and there was one lonely skein in the right dyelot just waiting for me.

It's becoming a habit, and I've not been quite so lucky again. I mentioned a couple of posts back that I'd started a Lily cardigan. It's looking good, coming along nicely.

Awesome right? I thought so. Then I realised that I was using yarn at an alarming rate. I weighed the yarn, then did two rows and weighed the yarn again. It's not going to happen.

I purchased it from the Wagtail Yarns farm, and I'm not sure if it's 80/20 or 60/40 blend. I've emailed Wagtail and will have to wait and see if they can identify it so that I can get some more.

Into the naughty corner with Lily.

And so I cast on a Dollheid hat. It's been a while since I did some colourwork, and I'd forgotten how much I enjoy it.
It uses a gorgeous icord cast on.

Followed by corrugated ribbing.

I'm using Jamiesons Shetland Spindrift in Natural White, Blossom and Raspberry. And I'm nearly done, only about 16 rounds to go!

But guess what?

Yup. I'm out of the Natural White. I got the yarn at Loop, and they're out of stock for a few weeks.

Into the naughty corner with Dollheid, too! Things happen in threes, right? I'll be all good if I start something else, surely!
