A New Love - Cascade 220


I came across this yarn a while back but have recently developed a love for it. It's a great yarn to learn on because there's a lot of it, it's inexpensive, gorgeous and there are a zillion colors. The hat I made, below, was Cascade 220 as are the cakes above. There are so many colors but lately I'm leaning toward the Heathers, as you can see. The yarn is versatile and the fact that every color seems to match it makes it easier for someone like me who has no sense of color coordination. I've just completed a hat with 2 of the above yarns and I'm now knitting a hat with the two other colors. Seems I'll be doing the striped London Beanies out the wazoo since everyone loves it. I need more females in my life so I can make them lovely berets and hats. I'm getting tired of boy stuff.
