After getting everything packed, I looked outside and realized that the rain which had been falling was not going to stop. In fact it was getting more steady. My original plan was to head out for the weekend Thursday late afternoon, but the idea of trying to get everything into and then out of the car in the rain did not appeal to me.
There was only one problem. I had packed everything I wanted to work on. I opened up the yarn bag and grabbed a skein of Lion Brand Homespun yarn I had gotten at a yarn swap. While I love this yarn, it is a pain to use as the loops are hard to see with everything it has going on. I’ve learned the best way for me to use it is to do a pattern with a double crochet, chain and a skipped stitch. This way I don’t have to worry about finding the top of the stitch, but can go right into the gaps.
One skein is about the perfect length for an infinity scarf. Once done, it will go into my Christmas gifts pile.

I find it hard to work with the yarn with loops. Nice color 🙂
I do too. Or fun fur, or anything that is too fuzzy.
It is gonna be so pretty! 🙂 I found using the Homespun to knit with is a whole lot easier than to crochet with too!
Someday I need to learn how to knit.
I haven’t knit with this particular yarn but I did use it a while back for an afghan using a sc and hdc in one chain stitch then skipping the next chain stitch. It made that nice hole to hit.
I will have to try that. It seems like this yarn needs that hole in order to not drive you crazy.
I have been attempting a mitten pattern with this yarn. So far I’ve had to take it apart three times. Not having very much success but I’m determined to figure it out eventually.
You are far braver than I am. I love the yarn, but I need a pattern that gives me a good hole to aim for. It is just so fuzzy.
