Knit Alongs & Yarn

2006 Knit Alongs  Have you seen this list before?  I just found it today and was really impressed!  I also found a knit along there for Swallowtail Shawl which I have on more than one occastion thought of Knitting.  It looks hard, but I have just the yarn for it so we’ll see!

Speaking of yarn…I hate Quellon by Araucania yarns.  Hate is a strong word, but I’m using it for you all today.  hate hate hate that yarn.  I do love how it feels and I do love the colorway I got it in *2*, but I hate the yarn.  Let me explain why…every time I go to wind a ball of it *I have 2* I spend multiple hours untangling it.  I don’t know what I do wrong when I’m untwisting the hank, but let me tell you I must be doing something wrong.  I hate it and won’t be spending the 15 bucks a hank again.  maybe one of their other yarns because I do love the feel of it.  Andy think it would make a lovely hat, and the thought of knitting a hat with that yarn makes me want to barf.  It will more than likely end up a scarf…a scarf I never use.
