Knitting success
It's nice when a project comes out better than you expected. I made a little girl's poncho and hat in one of those new polymid yarns - Cheerio, in platinum. It knitted up even nicer than it looked in the skein. Seems almost woven instead of knitted with a little bit of a sparkle. The poncho looks kind of like a skating outfit. Maybe I'll just "have" to make leg warmers and a muff too. I also made a Santa hat for a baby girl and it looks wonderful. Unfortunately the pompon on the top/bottom of the pointy part of the hat sheds like mad. I used Sirdar's Funky Fur yarn for the white and it's absolutely wonderful in terms of looking like fur. It's very white, perfect in most regards. But when it's cut in making the pompom, its furry pieces fly off everywhere. All the furry yarns seem to do the same thing. If anyone knows a good trim white furry yarn that won't shed when cut, let me know!
