Out of all the options, that pole was the largest measuring in at 36.5 inches (Are we turning into Americans??? We didn't measure in centimetres!!! Look at what the distress of trying to be quick and discreet will do to us!!)
I am not having a very good time with this tag. It is slow going. So far, I have knit up 6 inches unstretched (this works out to be about 9.5 inches stretched).

This particular tag is a red acrylic (unknown brand... but very old.... most likely from the 70s based on all the other yarn we got at the same time as it). We're guessing a worsted weight. I'm using a 6.0 mm needle (US 8) to knit it. It's been slow going... March Break was very distracting for a younger knitter like me! But now, I'm determined to knit five rows a day... just five rows a day will hopefully get it done in time (that's how close we are to our big group tag day!!!).
On the other hand, KnitMama and I are doing very well on our tag. It's almost done!
Again.. all these colours are an unknown acrylic yarn... old! We're knitting it up on much bigger needles, 9 mm needles (US 13). We only have a few more rows to go.

And... to complete this gem... we're adding a little something to it. Can anyone guess??
I cannot wait to see what that colourful tag will look like... or where it will be!
ReplyDeleteThe colourful tag is complete (but not in it's final home)... pictures to come soon!
