Found a Need!
I was just about to destash this yarn when I found a group contributing handmade items to our local hospital nurseries. The hospitals require easy-to-launder yarn, so most charity work given is acrylic.
This is a newborn baby pattern, free from Bev’s Country Cottage, called the On The Road Again Hat. Here’s the link: www.bevscountrycottage.com/bevs-baby-set1.html
The pattern calls for a cast on of 70, however, I used dpns and had a double-wide rib at the end of the round when I do this. I would cast on 72 or 68 to make the ribs come out right IF YOU decide to use dpns or circular needle only! If you seam it like the instructions say (doh!) you will not have a problem! I obviously did not even read the instructions clearly enough. Now I’m only going to do the hat…as the mitts and booties are seamed as well, and I prefer to do them in the round.

It's nice to work with...except...the little white poly wrap around the yarn...ARGH!!!! It is really hard to pick up a lot of the time and when you miss it, you get these little loops that stick out. It's a pain. Next time, I'll get the kind without it.
