a knitting (and spinning!) post

this is my new favorite hat. it seems that i have a new favorite hat every few weeks, right? but i LoVe hats, and i especially LoVe this one! it is the side slip cloche from boutique knits. the yarn is berroco inca gold purchased at the best little fiber shop ever! i was wearing another little handknit in this photo but i couldn't get a decent pic of it. i will try again tomorrow because it is cute!


i also played with my spinning wheel this week and produced a lovely 4 ounce skein of thick and thin wool. thick and thin meaning my spinning was a little inconsistent resulting in this yarn that is over spun in some spots and under spun in others... something that will surely be impossible to recreate down the road when i decide to purposely spin thick and thin... but i digress.


esme' has decided it should be knit up into something lovely for her. hmmm, a favorite hat, perhaps?
next in line for the spinning wheel- hand painted roving from painted moth. YuM!

That handspun is beautiful! I just made my first handspun on my drop spindle last week. I told my DH he needs to add a spinning wheel to his list of projects! ;0)
