I bought the book 60 Quick Knits from my "local" yarn storn in Lexington (two hours away). It's sixty patterns knit with Cascade 220. I thought it would provide a helpful reference for patterns using standard worsted wool - scarves, hats, and mittens.
I have knit Twisted Toque hat:
Yarn: Black Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks.
Needles: US size 7. I started with double pointed needles, but switched to two circulars, and found that much easier and faster.
Pattern: Twisted Toque in 60 Quick Knits
I blocked the hat on a bowl, and I think it's blocked too large. I think I need to reblock it smaller.
I also started the Ruffled Scarf from the same book, using Knitpicks sugarbunny yarn in a pale blue. I like the ruffled boarded, but the scarf body rolls. And the yarn is very hairy. I'm not sure I'll finish it. We'll see.
