Yarn from the Twilight Zone...
Have you ever started knitting a project, sure that you were going to run out of yarn?
Have you ever been **this** wrong?
I started with 168 grams of handspun 2 ply blue corriedale.

Not an excessively large skein of yarn (or so I thought), so I decided to make this watch cap, thinking that if it looked like I was going to run out of yarn I could just make the turn-up shorter.
I didn't have to make the turn-up shorter.

Not only did I have yarn left over, but I had enough to make this toddler sized jester hat.

And yes, even though I started with only 168 grams of wool, I still have a handful left over. Literally.

So I've put it into this kit to make another watch cap.

Who wants to bet that I have a whole bunch of the light brown left over?
If I do, maybe I'll use it to make some of these (after I stop whimpering). (BTW, both of the hat patterns are from The Any Yarn, Any Size Knit Hat Book)

I made three more squares for my weavette/crochet blanket using the diagonal weave method for the weavette loom. I'll definitely be trying more of these! I also made one in plain weave, to get used to the method of weaving across two rounds of yarn. Next I think I'll try herringbone!
