SnB Fun

Jon visited and wondered where we got the "furballs" for spinning...

Ang spun some very pretty gray yarn

Wendy and Alice de-tangled a ball of yarn. It takes two to de-tangle.

Jennifer and Wendy compared the sweater they are both knitting.
Fun day.

Cute Hat

I've been home sick for a few days - but not too sick to knit. I made this hat for Val's baby, which is due any day now. It is a modified version of the Gnomey Hat. Her version uses much bulkier yarn. Instead of casting on 50 stitches, I cast on 70. It has a garter stitch edge and a pointy top, except that I ended it with an i-cord and added the little leaf. It's cute because when it is on a head, the leaf kind of dangles. The pattern for the leaf is called Just-a-Leaf. I made this same hat over the summer for Simma to take to the hospital and give to one of her patients. It was her idea to add the leaf. It took me one day to knit. The yarn I got on sale in Cape May and is called Noro Matsuri. It is 80% cotton and 20% wool.
