It’s been quite a while since I indulged in my favorite knitting activity, so I decided to rectify that today.
I worked at the computer because I had to follow the video instructions for the cast-on. It took me several attempts, and at the moment I’m not sure about my gauge so I might have to do it again. But I’ve taken a liking to this cast-on, which is supposed to produce an extremely stretchy edge, so I wouldn’t mind practising it some more.
The yarn I’m using is Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran, and it is a total joy! I’m a little scared as to how it will hold up with use, though, it seems to be giving some hints of piling…
Have a lovely Sunday, everyone! :) I suggest you do something you really like, but haven’t done in a while… It’s been a thrill for me to rediscover this old love… :)

Great idea! I’m about to finish a large project and I might just go dust off the spinning wheel today and see if I remember how to spin. By the way, I used the cashmerino aran for a hat a while back and it held up just fine. I don’t recall any pilling. Good luck with your fun project!
Thinks for the link to the video. I’ll have to try that cast on one day.
Ooh, I really like Cashmerino Aran – I’ve used it several times, but I do find it goes a bit fuzzy with wear.
What pattern is it?

I’m sure it will make a good hat. I think delicate yarns are perfect for hats as you don’t rub your head all that much.
