When I got home, I also had to immediately cast on. But what does someone so used to fine gauge, tightly spun Yarn-With-A-Capitol-Y knit out of 82 yards of single ply, bulky weight, tinsel-filled yarn?
I started knitting a cowl, but I soon began to realize if I have yet to knit a cowl, cowls probably just are not for me. (And lets be honest, we all know I really wanted to knit a beret, but I already have a lot of those). So, I grabbed a skein of Rowan Cocoon and started knitting again. The end result is a perfectly-sized stockinette (I was worried garter would eat length and I would run out of yarn) triangular single-row stripes little scarf thing. A scarf that, more than once, has been referred to by others as "that thing that resembles knitting."
I love it.****
This was Courtney at 2:30 today. You can only imagine what 7:04 feels like.

Holy moley, look at all the yarn!
BTW, you rock tinsle!
good god that is a LOT of yarn!! i love your orange sweater so, so much!
hey, nice cardigan!
the kerchief looks like a great deal of fun to make and wear. rowan cocoon seems like awfully nice stuff and your bulky stripy little triangle is very inspiring.
i'm so happy about the yarn, FINALLY!
you rock the triangular scarves like no other, lady!
WOW so much yarn and so organized!
I tagged you on my blog:)
Hey darlin--just FYI, the link to Eames in your sidebar is broken (extra http//).
Hope all's well! Miss you out here. Will I see you in CA in January?
Love the little scarf - gorgeous yarn.
I love it. That yarn is spectacular and I think you chose the perfect yarn for it. Is there a way to comment using another type of account besides Google/Blogger? I usually leave comments through my Wordpress account.
How did you do single row stripes? Double rows I can picture, but in my head you have to be working in the round to work single row stripes - otherwise isn't the yarn always at the wrong end of the row when you want to change yarns?
Am I being totally stupid?
