I finished the Look for Happiness baby blanket for an expectant mother in my church. :). Hope she likes it. It was a very enjoyable knit, not complicated, but enough “need to pay attention to one of the rows” to keep your interest. I found it a relaxing knit. 🙂
On March 19th we had a little hail storm. I thought it was just a really heavy rain, until I saw these (2nd picture) on my balcony!!
I had the hat finished that I was working on with this skein of yarn I (that I had finished spinning for the 2023 Tour de Fleece) but was not satisfied with the hat at all!! The yarn was too thick and the needles I had gone down a couple of sizes, trying to compensate for the yarn weight, were a size or two to small and made it too dense and it was still to big and the cables didn’t show well. So I frogged it, sorry I never did get a picture of it. The yarn is a light bulky (because it’s a tweed) and the pattern called for a dk weight. I have chosen another pattern but will probably still have to adjust it, or maybe just keep looking for a better pattern.
Hope everyone is safe with all the crazy weather, take care, be safe!

I love how that blanket turned out! The color is so pretty there is not a mom in world who wouldn’t love to receive it!!!
Hail??? It’s spring! Send that weather North!!
I have seen bulky/tweedy hat patterns in my travels, I am sure you’ll find something appropriate!

LOL, north sent it down to us, I’d love to send it back!! Fortunately we don’t get hail very often, we get more snow. I tried to catch hail once in my grandmother’s straw hat, lol, you can guess how that went :P.

Its beautiful handspun and fisker cowl suits bulky yarn as my first one was done with bulky. We haven’t had hail like that for many years.

Beautiful blanket. Weird weather. I heard the midwest is now an insurance hot spot due to hail risk of damage. No place is safe.

Honestly my area doesn’t get much hail, but once in a while and what is in my picture is the biggest I’ve seen here anyway.
I saw more and bigger hail out west tho.

Yeah they were, but some areas were getting 1″ hail stones, that would be big dents on the cars!

That’s a beautiful blanket! And look at those hailstones–not a common sight here so I looked at that photo for far too long. 🙂

We don’t get hail very often either, maybe once or twice a year. Thank you for your comment on the blanket, it really was fun to knit. I will definitely knit another one.
