So it's been a couple of days since my last post, and in those couple of days, I've done a LOT! I've done some knitting, some spinning, some plying...all sorts of stuff!
First, I would like to share my hat with you all. It is my "Chemo Hat"
Unfortunately, it doesn't really fit me. I have a big head, what can I say? I didn't follow the pattern exactly either, but I really like the way it turned out (with the exception of some minor/ugly mistakes), especially the top.
So without further ado, some pictures of it!
A bit washed out from the flash
A bit darker than the yarn actually is...but eh, who cares?
And my lovely Vanna, er...I mean, John, modelling the hat. =)
Now in the meantime, I've done quite a bit of spinning as well, and the wool spun includes my psychedellic green wool! =D Here is some of it spun up:
I actually finished it and I plied it so that it's nice and thick. There's about 72 or so yards of it. Again, I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. It's really thick in some places. I'm thinking a scarf probably, there's not a whole lot that you can do with 72 yards of yarn.
I'm currently working on another double ply yarn right now. It's black, nothing fun or colorful. I'll probably dye some more wool this week and get a crackin' on that. Either that, or I might start working on my Japanese room divider, or my bottle cap flower pot, or maybe something completely different...like soap! I'm looking forward to making my soap. =D

Lovely yarn! You could use it as accent areas on a project (on a sleeve for example) or use it as finishing yarn for cuffs or a collar.
