Aaaargh

Well, having knit my k1-p1 rounds, I've found that the cotton just doesn't have enough give. In fact, I've knit that part several times, casting on looser each time, and there's still not enough give. So I did some research and discovered that vegetable fibres typically don't have as much give as animal fibres do. Well, I think I'd worked that out for myself!

So I went to a LYS, taking the pattern with me, and we picked out a wool/acrylic blend. Photo will probably be here tomorrow.

So, I guess, arguably, I start on my sock for the fifth time tomorrow.

In the mean time, any suggestions on what projects would work well with worsted weight cotton yarn in denim-blue variagated colour would be welcome.

What it is to learn, eh?
