I had to impose a fingering ban on myself, bc while I was accumulating special skeins, I couldn't bring myself to use them and so in the end, I am faster knitting a full longsleeved sweater in size 5 for a very tall person than a single miniscarf XD
I have a project sitting, though, that uses one special skein and a coordinating cc, it's an alpaca blend in light grey with dark red spots for assigned pooling by ladybugyarn, the cc being also dark red. I started the "shawl for every body" by Fatimah Hinds, who has made it her goal to design patterns that use every last bit of the yarn suggested. (And some truly cool, cozy and creative cardigans!)
What a lovely newsletter today! :)

Thank you!! Assigned pooling is one of the loveliest innovations in knitting! I hear you on most demanding sweaters going faster than a scarf. 😅
My most common ‘one skein’ project is the Wingspan although I have been known to use a different yarn for each panel just to use up little bits.
That’s a lovely idea!
Thank you for the restack! 🤗❤️
Thank you for the restack, Elizabeth! 🫶🏽
