Mood:  happy

I went to a Fall Arts Festival last Saturday. I bought this hand spun wool from a lady that lives in Groton, South Dakota. she raises the sheep, and cleans the wool and spins it all by herself.

I dyed it with Kool-Aid. I used strawberry, and pink lemonade flavors. To get this color. I think that I will either knit a pair of mittens with it. Or a hat. I haven't decided yet.

I had time to knit a couple of dish cloths while we were on vacation. The first one is called the Baby Fern Stitch. The second one is called the Sand Stitch cloth.

I watched a video in You Tube with instructions on how to crochet this necklace. I used craft wire, and wooden beads. I think that it turned out real cute.

I was knitting this hat for my son Dillon. But when I finished the hat is turned out way to small. I am sure that I will find some one to give it to. The pattern can be found here at

My Knottyfriends group had a Knit Along Dishcloth. This is the dishcloth from that KAL. I used Sugar n Cream Twista yarn. The color Rose Twist.
