Manos Del Uruguay in Wildflowers
Less than one skein. But as it was a bit too tight on my head and would not stay put, and basically, I didn't like or wear it much. So I present frogged Manos!
Quite a few lovely colors in there.
Nice side o'yarn cake!
So what did it become....
Calorimetry #2!
I used only 100 stitches and did only 12 short rows (possibly 10, I forgot!) I didn't straighten the yarn before I reknit, I liked how it looked. This one fits much better, not as loose. My other one is fine, I do need to add another button to that one though!
I bring this to you from hubby's laptop...um a bit different to type on! Our main PC died yesterday! Sigh...good think I had uploaded most of this post to flickr already as I didn't think there was any photo editing software on the laptop! Squee...there are 2 programs so you won't have to just read posts for the next 2 weeks as I'll be able to post pictures. Yes, we've been researching new PC's with more storage so we had an idea, we just had to order a bit earlier than expected.
It was close though, I had just spent a few hours last weekend downloading to CD's all the family pics, papers, etc...still lost a bit, nothing major...um I hope!

I really love all of those colors together. And the Calorimetry looks great!
Pretty! Wildflower is has such pretty colors and you have definitely put it to good use.
Love those calors! ;) I've always wanted to try manos.
What gorgeous colors! Love the Calorimetry.
So pretty - I love the delicate colours in there. Now we want a picture of you wearing it!
Suckage on the computer issues.
I love the Caloremtry much more than the Panta! But the colors of that Manos are amazing!
Love it!! That yarn was way too pretty to be stuck in a FO that didn't fit. Now you can wear it - hurray!!! So sorry to hear about the PC - thank goodness most of your stuff was saved.
Ooh that looks fab. A great transformation.
Greta calorimetry!
that is such gorgeousness! is a Calorimetry a headband of another sort?
I love manos in wildflowers! I can't wait to get my hands on some. Great post. From an old panta, to frogged yarn, to a new calorimetry. Your yarn has bloomed! :)
That is one of my favorite colors of manos! I also love the wiggely look it takes on after beeing frogged.
The amazing morphing Manos! I love how it looks as a Calorimetry.
Looks great as a Calorimetry! Glad you were able to put the yarn into something you'll use!
Good thinking on the frog and reincarnation - it would have been a shame not to wear something that beautiful!
Blogger wouldn't let me leave a comment last night but the yarn looks even better in the morning!!
RIP old computer--are you getting a new one??
I love that manos color… have two skeins in the stash, but they are quite different dye lots so I needed a "one skein" project. Although they do make really nice yarn cakes… I like your calorimetry, might just have to try that one. Nice buttons, too.
You really have me wanting to go out and buy some manos, if only for the yarn cakes.
Yarn cakes. . . mmmmm. . .
Wow, these colors are just beautiful. I love it! When I do finally do one, I am going to have to make a small one:)
What gorgeous colors! It makes a very nice Calorimetry!
