I finished that quick hat I started the other day. It was knit with Rio de Plata in a festive handspun of red, pink, and white. I can't give the colors in this photo the justice they deserve. It looks way better in real life. The pattern is an adapted one of an adapted one a friend of mine came up with several years ago when I decided to needed to knit again. I was busy making dolls for a WAHM group and was looking at some of the gorgeous hand dyed yarn that was being created and just drooling. I know what the husband was thinking and I am happy to admit he took it very well when I completely immersed myself in yet another hobby.
Tonight, after the little ones were in bed (still chatting away as they are BEST of friends when it's time to go to sleep and they share a room), I took the Border Leicester that I carded the other day and started spinning it. What a joy that was to spin up! I have a bobbin full of a gorgeous blend of natural colors. Wait until you see how thin I got it! Drafting it was so easy and it lent itself to be spun thin. I think I finally have found my first skein of sock yarn. Can you guess what I'll be doing more of tomorrow instead of cleaning? I can't wait to show you the rest of it!Your Big Sister, as always, immersed in Fiber
