I realize this post is way overdue, but I finally finished my yarn club project for the month of November. The deadline for the project was the night before my last holiday craft show. Between creating inventory for shows and making Christmas presents, this project just didn't get done in time. The yarn for November was
River Twist by Mountain Colors in the colorway Rock Creek. It is a lovely 100% merino that is plied with two strands that change colors. Rock Creek is a blend of dark gray, blue, green, and purple. It almost looks black at first glance, then you notice all the muted colors.
The project for the month was a hat with cables called
Intersections Break. I like working with cables and the pattern was easy to follow. The only thing I didn't like about the pattern was how they figured out the sizes. My gauge was correct, so the circumference of the hat was fine, but the number of cables for the "small" hat wouldn't have even covered my ears. I realized this after starting the decrease rows on the evening of the project deadline. After ripping back a few rows it became clear that I wasn't going to finish 2 more cable repeats and the decrease that evening so I set the project aside.
In the meantime I finished knitting my
Echo Lodge sweater and picked up again on my
colorwork socks from last year. I also finished the yarn club project for December, which will be posted soon! This hat ended up being a Valentine's gift for my guy. Overall, I like the River Twist yarn and would probably order it again for another project.
