It was love at the first sight with this lovely mustard yellow yarn at Spotlight.

I had a first impulse purchase for 3 wool balls and made a very long scarf for winter (because it is freezing here in winter! … and also because I just begin to knit and I don’t know how to knit something else but rectangular piece of wool). I knitted with some logs of wood I found in the forest my 12.5″ needles. I love these needles because I knit very very fast with them…

Ahem… in short, here is the scarf:

And then, I came back to Spotlight two weeks after, and… big drama… no more of this lovely mustard yellow yarn (I knew I should have bought 20 wool ball straight away, I knew it!!! ). Depressed as you can imagine, as was about to give up and go out to forget my sadness with a Samboca bottle when I suddenly discovered, at the bottom of the display unit, 2 forlorn wood balls just waiting for me!!! How lucky I am??  Are you all jealous now??

So, I wanted to knit a wool hat, but after a few researches, it appears that you have to use barbarian tools so called  “circular needle”, and be able to read hieroglyph such as “Row 11: P1, * K1, YO, K2, Slip1, K2tog, PSSO, K2, YO, K1, P1, repeat from * across”. Help, I don’t have my Champollion translator!

So, I think I need a bit more time here…

And I will come back to you in a few months with my yellow hat, I promise (I have to speed, winter is coming soon!)
