I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

Last week I finished my pretty blue cowl, gave it a wee bath, and pinned it out to dry.
Rusted Blue Estonian Cowl

It looks even better. well, except for the rust. Evidently, you can’t just block your knitting with any old T-pins. I’m not gonna lie. I was not excited to find this out with my pretty blue cowl, but if I’d rusted my Jeanie, well, it wouldn’t have been pretty. In fact, it would have been downright ugly (think cross between Rudolph and Rob Zombie).

Looks like I’ll soon be the proud new owner of some T-pins from my LYS.

    Ohhh, the Jeanie. I finally gave up on mine and am turning that yarn into something else (that’s currently hibernating.) I’m very impressed with yours!

    Oh annoying! You can sell it as a special feature though I’m sure!

      Thanks! I think the yarn is thick and blue enough that it won’t be a huge deal once I was the edge off the rust.

  3. Alicia says:

    Oh no!!! What a bummer! I wonder if rust washes out?

      I’m gonna give it the old college try and if not, I’ll wear it anyway. I so love a conversation piece.
