I may be done with hats...for a while.

I belive I have finally gotten the last of my small bath yarn blends knitted up. I love to do 4oz to ensure I can knit an adult hat at the very least (non of my nieces or nephews live in cold places).

Fun with felting!

Fun with felting!

A felting project that worked out great! Dense and warm, soft and pretty. The hat fit perfectly after only 1 run in the wash. Still nerve racking but will be making another one.

The great Dijon debacle.

The great Dijon debacle.

I decided to call this one "dijon corn". You can see why. I had white and yellow Moreno wool with some angora and silk blended up and spun into yarn. I thought to myself "lets toss this

THE SOUND OF LOVE

THE SOUND OF LOVE

I sketched Bob Marley as a reminder that music is more than sound, it can carry emotions, memories, and messages of love. Every line in this drawing may look rough and imperfect, but together they create

Who doesn't love purples and lime green?! This moreno blend came from a fiber waste bag I purchased on Etsy. When all was said and done I had two awesome skiens of yarn that both knitted up into two totally

Green Moreno yarn and silk came to me blended and ready to be spun into a chunky yarn. Using size 7 needles and my handy 2x2 rib pattern to get this obscenely warm and soft beanie was quick and fun.

This hat came from a theme batch of wool a few years ago. I decided to ply it on itself but to use the white for half of the second ply. I then threw the resulting yarn in my "I'll knit that up

Blue Husky

The husky that donated his fiber for this blend will always be appreciated. Husky, alpaca, silk and wool all went into the dye pot to result in a soft and semi dense yarn I knit into this great slouchy

I've been working home for the past month now and honestly, it does get boring. From 9am to 6pm, I'm with my laptop learning about my new job with very little human interaction. Well, from time to time,

The forgoten blend...

I have no idea where I picked up the fiber blend I made this hat out of. This is a blend of alpaca, and wool. I do know that this hat was a dream to spin and wonderful to knit. I love the sheen of this

Both of these hats originated in the pacific north west. I was in Eureka, CA where I found a yarn shop (surprise, surprise). After buying a lovely bunch of yellow Merino wool in different shades and some

Another sampler hat...

This awesome beanie is the result of mixing all the fiber sent to me via my favorite fiber sampler box. The wool, mohair, alpaca, angora, and sparkle came together in this totally fab head warmer! Viva

The pull out.

I will confess that this was not yarn at the start of my self imposed handspun2hat challenge, but in fact was a rarely used cowl I had knit years ago that i decided was destined to be a hat all along.

Autum theme.

These colors came together so nicely. The yarn resulted from all the fibers in my fave fiber sampler box.

toasty toque

This hat is dense and warm due to the generous amount of poodle used in it in addition to the Moreno wool. Totally brings out the winter vibe as well.

What to do with that recycled sari silk.

What to do with that recycled sari silk.

I used a commercially made roving and added my own flair to it including some of my stash of recycled sari silk. I used the seed stitch in knitting this beauty. This hat feels awesome!
