Day 115: You'll have to forgive the model. I made this snood/scarf/hood for myself, so it's only fitting that I wear it for the photos. This is how I put the "8-Ball" handspun to good use. The wool came as a package of eight colours, an ounce of each, hence my name for it. After putting the work in to spin it, I didn't want to waste any of the yarn, and decided the most effective project would be an infinity scarf. I chose to knit it in the round which, if you know anything about knitting, was a huge pain in the neck because I had to wrestle with a twist. It is a simple pattern of two knit rows followed by two purl rows on 120 stitches calculated for a circumference of 24". As I was knitting it, I didn't realize that the yarns were an exact colour match to a pair of leg-warmers I made a couple of years ago from variegated commercial yarn! What are the odds of that ever happening? Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.
