A friend gave me several skeins of Tufutsie yarn. She said she got it at a flood sale on impulse. She knew that I had made socks with it, but I really didn’t think I’d be making another eight or ten pair. What wanted was a light weight cardigan. I have lots and lots of tiny balls of leftover sock yarn. This extra yarn was really inspiring me. I was considering entrelac or mitered squares and I played with different needles and made samples. I finally realized that this wasn’t what I wanted. While flipping through books and magazines, It came to me. Shells. It’s been years. I knew I had some patterns somewhere. So I went on-line. I found four places. Lucky for me, I had three. I pulled them out, knit samples and made up my mind.
