I’m late in posting these photos for the usual reason of not taking photos. But the remaining two projects from the trip are now completely finished.
I finished the project I started with the yarn I purchased in Richmond. The yarn is lovely and works really well with this pattern. I had earmarked the pattern when I first saw it but had not been able to find a skein of variegated yarn on my travels in Europe so was very happy to find yarn in the UK. The pattern is Just Keep Swimming and was easy to memorize. The important change I made was to wrap yarn three times around the needle on the row before the first slip stitch row so that the slipped stitches did not distort the cowl. The yarn is Plump Sock DK from Ainsworth & Prin.
The other item finished was the hat I started for airplane knitting. I could have saved this for future travels but as the WIP along is ongoing I decided to finish it. The yarn is Smooshy from Dream in Color and I am including a few photos so that you can see how much the skein changes in colour. It works well for this hat but I’m not sure how I would have felt if I had made a pair of socks with it. The pattern is a mash up of various double layer hat patterns.
