Fourth in an occasional series of recipes for cakes that I make for Spinning Group. This is an easy, economical and delicious, if contentious cake.
Amanda hat
I was totally seduced by the Paton's Jet that maddy18 gave me. When I found that I couldn't knit any of my "hit list" projects while bandaged from finger to shoulder, I realised that something on big fat needles would be much more appropriate - and this yarn knits on 5.5mm - lovely. A quick search of Ravelry yielded...
knit/lab/high seas
knit/lab/high seas I am a bit taken with this. Very Japanese feel to it, for me. In the new blue 3/28NM cashmere, perhaps?
Not really stash
I am fairly sure that this doesn't count as stash enhancement, seeing as it was gifted to me. It's Paton's "Jet" - an alpaca and wool combination chunky weight yarn. I got two balls in a RAK package and fell instantly in love with it.
Crocus Hat
A quick and easy hat from Grumperina. I needed a close-fitting hat and this quick and easy project fitted the bill. Knitted in Hug from The Yarn Yard.
Not So Random Acts
I need to record the receipt of three RAK parcels, all originating from Ravelry's UK Random Acts of Kindness group. The first two parcels were from an alphabetic game - participants simply take the next letter free, and the previous participant sends to the new participant. That sounds really odd, doesn't it? Illustrative Example: I signed up for R, so I received Q. I signed up for E, so I received D. Confused? You will be! (yes, still watching Soap)
