So I wanted to knit a bedspread. I ordered some bedspread cotton from Herrschner’s, not realizing how impossibly tiny the thread is. I was expecting something more on the order of Sugar & Cream, I guess. How wrong I was. Anyway, I think eventually I’ll tackle a bedspread in actual bedspread cotton – but for now I’m working up some counterpanes in worsted weight acrylic. So far, it’s fun.
I’ve been avoiding my Orangina and my Six Sox socks while I’ve been working on the counterpanes. I have such a short attention span – and the socks especially are just boring knitting in the round, made even MORE annoying since the yarn I’m using is especially prone to laddering, so I have to move stitches around on the needles every single row.
