yuckity...yuck...yuck...

is exactly how i feel...i'm currently in no way enjoying what's on my knitting needles...i was commissioned to knit up a baby/crib blanket in which they provided the yarn...let me just say that i'm pretty sure it's the worst acrylic known to human...it hurts my fingers, hands, and heart! however...on a positive note...i'm loving the pattern and will revisit it again with a much nicer yarn...

on the needles...chalice baby blanket

on vinyl...tree by the river by iron and wine

I find it hard to work on acrylic, too (feels like plastic to me). Here's to fast knitting and moving on to the good stuff!

daniel...awww...tyvm...i feel as tho it is sucking the life out of me at times...you have a great blog with some amazing tips!

brenda...it's sooo scratchy...i swear that it is tearing up my fingers...the worst part is that it's red heart acrylic...i finally cheated and took a break...now to pick it back up again...i have heard that you can kill acrylic...may just have to do so before giving it to the recipient!
