But inspiration has arrived: Karen and Jimmymeow returned from a trip to Vermont with a sweet surprise for me - yarn from a farm that that they visited:
It's undyed and has more of a sheepy texture than the usual superwash merino yarn that I buy. I really like it.
See the little bits of dried grass/hay/sheep debris that came off when I wound it? You can tell it's been minimally processed which adds to the lovely natural color and feel.
Sounds like a fun place to visit!
I started thinking about knitting a classic cabled winter hat, which brought me down the rabbit hole of patterns on Ravelry. You can search by yarn weight but if you don't have a general idea of what you're looking for, it'll take hours to narrow things down. Since I wanted cables, but not a charted pattern because I've never learned how to read a chart and now is definitely not the time to start, LOL, it was fairly easy to find a hat that looked cute with a written pattern.
I wound the yarn yesterday, pulled out my needles, and cast on. I fully expect to make mistakes, be dissatisfied at my fabric (too tight or too loose), undo a lot of it, and possibly restart the entire hat, but that's my normal knitting process and I am thrilled to be in the thick of it, finally. And all it took was a tapering off of the Gabapentin (still have a couple weeks to go, but the dosage is much less) and some really cool yarn from some really good friends. Creative, too:
This was attached to the gift bag of yarn - Karen is so clever!
