Scarfy Thing

I am working on knitting up the hot chocolate with marshmallows yarn.  Unfortunately, I am not as pleased with it as I thought.  I don't like the randomness of the slubs.  I also think they kind of look like grubs which is kind of gross.  I think it would have been better if I just spun a think and thin yarn instead of looking for a concept like hot chocolate with marshmallows.  Another thing that made it harder is that the yarn is a bit overspun and has a lot of variety.  The slubs are close to 2 wpi, where the thinnest yarn (usually overspun) is around 20.  I settled on size 10 needles, which were too small for the slubs...  I'm thinking about adding buttons to make it wearable.

In other news, I am getting yarn ready to dye with koolaid.  I am also hoping to participate in the 2012 Tour de Fleece for the first time this year and excited about MOAR SPINNING!
