Yesterday I saw this post over at cosymakes, and this post over at knithoundbrooklyn, and decided that my pink cvm handspun (from cosy’s shop, of course) needed to become a snail hat (a la Elizabeth Zimmerman).
I dug out my copy of EZ’s Knitting Without Tears, and cast on. A few podcasts later, I was ready to decrease. Things may have gotten slightly wonky near the top, but handspun covers a multitude of sins — errr, mistakes.
Though this looks like a pretty pink snail, it knits up in a manner that more closely resembles the gait of a cheetah. (I’ll stop with the jokes now.)
I have no picture of Boh for you this morning, but as you can imagine, he is worried. Bright pink bulky handspun is NOT sock yarn, and he was glaring at me from his perch on my bed as I worked on this.
Happy Friday!

So cute! I was thinking of making one with some of my bulky handspun, too.
Cute! These are just about the fastest knit ever …
Snails- rarely known for their spontenaity. It looks great!
I am on to you… You just like that race to the end of the sock KAL, don’t you? :-)
You are a speedy knitter these days. It’s beautiful. Tell Boh not to worry so much. The socks will be done in no time.
That is extremely cute, and a great use for your handspun. I love it!
