It's a nice day so I rode the bent to Wally World. While there I bought some super bulky yarn and some size 15 and 17 needles as well as some other odds and ends. Mom had mentioned that she would like a knitting starter kit so she can teach herself to knit. She's been doing crochet for years so she can probably pick it far easier than myself. So I bought her the same starter kit with instruction book that I had bought for myself as well as some larger needles (the kit only comes with 6 and 8).
She was tickled when I gave them to her. I imagine that she's already hard at it.
I started a scarf with the new bulky yarn and size 17 needles, but after a few rows I didn't like the way it looked so I unraveled it and restarted it with the size 15 needles which is looking much better. It's coming along a whole lot faster than the one I am working on in medium worsted yarn and size 10 needles. I should be able to finish this one fairly quickly. I'll finish the other one while out on the road.
This super bulky yarn is a bit harder to worth with. It's a lot more fuzzy and doesn't slide as easily as the worsted weight does. But I think it's going to produce a thick and warm scarf.
