Happy Birthday to Me!
Born in late July, my birthday fall on the cusp between the sign of Cancer and Leo. When I first saw the blue with the color flecks in this yarn, I absolutely fell in love. Since completing the sample, it has become my favorite beanie to grab and wear on a day to day basis. Since the cable pattern looks like waves and not wanting to use the word cancer in the title, I looked to the symbol of the Zodiac, the crab. Thus the name “Waves of the Crab” was born.
