Woohoo!

Shawl is finished and blocking. More details to come after it has been sent and received.  And when it's not past my bedtime...

Hat!

Sunhat finished finally


And taking it for a test drive. It only got pulled off once, I was quite surprised.


It took a long time from cutting this out to finishing it, because I somehow made the pattern too big. Once I fixed that, it went together very quickly. I'm still contemplating putting some cording around the edge to stiffen the brim a wee bit, but it's not really too floppy.

I have my spinning back too, here it is in all its glory.

Left to right: Romney worsted 2 ply, Merino worsted single, Romney semi-worsted single, Corriedale semi-worsted 2 ply, Lambswool woollen single.
