When we travel, I have a tendency to check out new yarn shops because I do not particularly care for the ones I have found close to home.
And I usually have Russell with me so he can pick out yarns. And this time I have two new crochet hooks.
This is the yarn that Russell picked out for socks. It is Cascade Yarn's wool sock yarn. I definitely needed a new hook! Here it is. This does not show how tiny it truly it is.
I picked up some magnum yarn by Cascade yarns and need an N hook. I am making a sweater with this.
Here is is without sleeves. I started from the top and worked my way down. There are no sleeves on it here. I added an extra stitch every other row on the front two panels to create some interest. I also added a mandarin collar. I also finished the front edge with a single stitch.
I finished the sleeves. It just needs a zipper or buckles down the front. I have to decide.
