I had no choice whatsoever but to do a drive by at the Local Yarn Store. I&#8217;m not going to lie. I ALMOST bought some orange sock yarn just because I never find orange sock yarn I like in person and the dyer was there at the time and&#8230;.I was NOT there for sock yarn. Super chunky yarn and size 8 double-pointed needles for a baby hat and that&#8217;s it. I know, you&#8217;re shocked.<br \/>\n<br \/>I looked at yarn that seemed super chunky to me and ended up with some lovely Malabrigo. I did give in and buy a matching button that was 50% off. I&#8217;m not made of steel. When I got home I realized the yarn was actually called Chunky, so it could not be &#8220;super chunky&#8221;. One would think I&#8217;d have noticed that before I purchased it. I did not. It looked super chunky to this sock knitter and it was blue.<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_3772.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_3772-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cowl\" title=\"IMG_3772\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_3772-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_3772-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/IMG_3772.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>Luckily, it seems to be working out just fine.<br \/>\n<br \/>Ps.
