From Susan — Drizzle Me Timbers

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 9:38 am

It’s time for another Drizzle on the Window Hat!!  I vowed I would not knit another.  Not that there is anything wrong with knitting these hats…it’s just that I have made quite a few!!  But, I was teaching a class on this hat at The Yarnery the past three Saturdays.  On the last day, a couple of students brought in beads they had purchased to make some more Drizzles.  They loved knitting the Drizzle.  They chose to go gray…and one had selected beads that also went gradient: clear for the smallest beads, light gray for the medium beads, and darker gray for the large beads.  I could not get to Stormcloud Trading fast enough!!!

It is impossible for me to get a truly representative picture.  The yarn is Classic Elite Fresco in Parchment — the “old” Parchment, which was more like ecru.  Fresco has been discontinued and I have yet to find a great substitute.  You just can’t capture the softness, the halo, the sparkle of the beads in a picture.  And, I enjoyed knitting the hat again!!

  3. So pretty! Was this hat made with Classic Elite Fresco? If not, what yarn did you use? Why, oh, why do the yarns we love get discontinued? Fresco was such a great classic!
