Dillon's Beanie
Mood:
happy
My Son Dillon needed a new hat. My knitting friend Ariel had the perfect Beanie pattern. It was easy to knit and worked up fast. I used Wool-Ease yarn, the color is called Wood. I used Wool-Ease, because I wanted the hat to be warm, and washable.
Thanks for the pattern Ariel!!!

Hand spun wool
Mood:
happy
Now Playing: Fall Arts Festival
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.
