In response to Jackie<\/a>, who asked me what yarn & size needles I’d used for my orange scarf, I’m using a US Size 6 needle, with the same worsted-weight microfiber I’ve been trying to get rid of for ages! It’s Lyon Brand, “micro-spun,” described as “an ultrasoft microfiber sports yarn.” I bought 6 skeins of it & it’s taking forever to go through! I managed to get two full-sized hats out of the yellow bit ( #1<\/a>, #2<\/a> ), this scarf as well as an Orange Hat<\/a> from the orange balls, with some left over, and to get a hat and scarf<\/a> out of the blue ones.<\/p>\n

I’ve started some of them on smaller needles, or have taken them to size 7 needles, depending on what I’ve got available (and not tied up in some other project). I’m currently doing Branching Out<\/a> with the rest of the orange yarn, and will hopefully manage to finish it sometime soon, although I’ve only done about 2.5 repetitions of the pattern so far.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
