ZOMG ITZ HOT

I have made a not-so-surprising discovery: knitting with wool when it's hot and humid is Not Fun (TM). It has more than once occurred to me that wool only really works for these hats in 1) cold places at 2) cool to cold times of year.

So! I'm off tomorrow in search of cotton yarn with which to make more Jayne hats, suitable for summery weather and southerly climes.

(I also might get some for Cylon hats too, come to that. More news when I have it.)

On my way

...to getting this stuff together. My Knit Picks color cards came today, so I can pick out which yarns will eventually become which projects.

So far, I know there are good colors for Jayne hats and Hogwarts gear. I have to go through the cards though, and figure what I need for which type of thing.

At least I have a source now for relatively inexpensive yarn that doesn't require me leaving my house. Winter + a four month old == blasted hard to get out of the house some days.

Onward!
