Come On Avalon!!

I am behind on my posting a little...a lot more behind on my projects!! But here is a little hat that I made for Avalon before she arrived. The yarn is from Northern Bay Handspun...a lovely spinner that I found on Etsy. The pattern is Trendy Baby Hat.

All three yarns I spun that day:


My first time knitting in the round:

Fiber:Frabjous Fibers Merino Roving
Hat pattern:Trendy Baby Hat by Bethany Patchin

Knitting wasn't enough.........

So I bought a spinning wheel.
And I am learning to spin.
Everyone asks me why....
My answer: It is like cooking from scratch.

My wheel:

An Ashford Joy...double peddle.

My first yarn:

My Second:

Random Drop Stitch Scarf

The beginning of a scarf that I made for Trish...a simple random drop stitch...but it showed the yarn changes so nicely :-)

WIP Wednesday!!

I have this Work-In-Progress that hasnt been recieving much work or progress! So this Wednesday I am showing it hoping to motivate myself to get it done and be able to post in an upcoming Finished Object Friday :-)

This little bear blanket is going to be for a new baby in our church...I need to get it done she was born in March! My aunt had made a blanket like this for me and I could never find the pattern...so a really sweet vetern crocheter from my local yarn shop looked at the blanket and wrote the pattern out for me. You can get the pattern here
