Asminah II

Back in March I asked one of my co-workers if she wanted a hat. She wanted beige, so I decided to use the cashmere that Max brought back from China. It's super thin though, so I needed to knit with five strands at a time. After a few stops and starts (and one very tangled mess) trying a new pattern, I switched patterns and knit Ashminah's hat again.

I love the softness of the yarn and the homespun quality of how it looks. It will probably be too warm to wear until the fall or winter but I think she's going to like it.

Oh my. I don't know if I'd have the dexterity to work with so many yarn balls at once! That looks so wonderfully soft, I'm sure she'll love it!

That's a handful! I bet it's lovely to the touch. : ) What if you wound the strands again into one ball?
