SMW recently wrote a
list of charitable organizations that are accepting a variety of donations
in the coming months. The St. Mungo
Woolly Hat project seemed most appealing to me.
Here is my orange hat:
This is made with Jojoland “Tonic” in color #AW128, known to
me as Nuclear Orange. It’s 85% acrylic,
15% wool and has a decidedly synthetic feel to it. Although it’s en route to serve its purpose for Woolly Hat Day, I am in no
hurry to use what remains of this skein.
Making the hat sent me in the completely opposite direction,
back to a sweater I started a year (2 years?) ago. It’s made with very rustic natural-color wool
from Beaver Brook Farm. I can’t take this project anywhere because it
has an intense oily smell that I huff joyously every time I pick it up. I made the sleeves long ago; now I’m on the
second attempt at the body. It’s plain
stockinette until I reach the neck—excellent stinky, mindless knitting.

Neuro, you are amazing! Wonderful hat, wonderful word "huff"! Can't wait to see the sweater in process or when finished.
Here's to cooler weather UFOs!!! Great looking sweater too! Will you be making an extended collar so that you can pull it up over your face and huff on it privately???
Oogy, I had not been planning a collar that would allow clandestine huffing, but now that you mention it...
