seconds

It's the second time for the jogless stripes I learned knitting Jared's turn-a-square a few weeks back.  The hat looks great has turned out to be completely un-photogenic.  It was knit up from yarn left over from my first socks (another project that I can't seem to do justice with the camera), and striped with the remnants of this project.

As for these stripes, the second time comes with the fiber.  One of the local yarn shops turned me on to 2nd Time Cotton, a yarn spun from textile industry waste.  I love the idea of making use of that which another deems waste, and too I love how the yarn is knitting up.  The softness, the colors.  It's also the second time on this pattern, but I'll save the details for once this little gift is finished and delivered.
