Fun Fur

This fun fur is not fun. I posted about it back in September, because I was so excited about having found it at Target. Couldn't wait to get started on this yummy stuff.

Knew I'd need larger needles. 10's were too small. So, got some 15's. That's what you're looking at right now.

One strand is too thin. Once this stuff is cast on, where in heck (I'm trying to clean up my language) are you supposed to insert the needle? The little fuzzy stuff coming off the very, very thin thread gets in the way! And it knots up.

Ok. So decided to just use the two balls together. Better. But this stuff still feels invisible! Maybe it's just my hands. I've abused them too much, always creating something with them my whole life long, so the skin is probably thicker than less-manual people's. I really can't feel the yarn! Ghost yarn. Like knitting fog.

But it's soft, soft, soft. Don't know how warm it'll be. It's acrylic, though, and that usually is real warm, even too much.

And I've decided that the next time I try to knit with this stuff, I'm using a regular yarn along with. Won't be as soft, but at least I'll be able to feel what I'm working with. And there'll be a lot less swearing, too, I think. Well, okay, maybe.
