Yes, what is that boring white thing? White and cotton and boring. Have I mentioned lately that I dislike cotton greatly? Well, I do. Interestingly enough, the last time I knit cotton was a project for my dad, something he requested. This current project is again a special request from my dad.
You see, he happens to have an SCA persona that puts him in the desert where wool is not a primary fiber. That means every time he asks me to make something for him, it’s probably going to be cotton. Lucky for him I love him more than I hate cotton.
This particular item is going to be a cap worn beneath his turban. So, if I am successful, no one will ever see it. I didn’t have a pattern to go on, which makes this dull white cotton WIP a little more interesting. The goal is to have it fit snuggly, ending right above his ears.
The real question is: will he wear it?

Have you tried Dalegarn Stork. That’s about the only cotton I’ve found that I like. Still, it’s better than wool for the desert, right?

I have not tried that yarn, but thank you for suggesting it. Maybe I’ll pick up a few skeins next time I see it, just in case my dad decides he wants something else made of cotton.
