These are the last of the projects I made on my last trip. I really like the yarn store in Ashland. It does not help that it has spinning wheels and such. It just fits who I am when it comes to fiber.
They had a kit there for a Blue Sky Alpaca knit hat kit. I hate knitting so i crocheted it. The package said it was a slouchy hat but it reminds me of a Rasta hat. I like it because it keeps my head warm and it goes over my hair easily when my hair is up. Which it is most of the time!
I also really liked the yarn that I made the Bear's ear flap hat from. I used the last bit of his and mine and made a cowl for me. It is not a cowl that you can twist twice around your head and hangs to your waist. It is just a simple close fitting cowl. I could have probably made it even closer fitting but it keeps my neck warm well.
These two bits of wool, my Carhartt's, a cardign sweater, and a t-shirt and I did not need to put a heavy coat on all the way home. With my mirrored aviators, I looked strange. But that is okay. I was warm and covered in wool.
Today has been a scattered day. I went with a friend to the farmer's market and then we did a bit of shopping for her. I had to walk a few miles to try to make my hip feel like it was working. Then I ran out of embroidery floss! The hand sewing and embroidery has caught me very hard. But that is life sometimes. i am not so much at my sewing machine but that is okay. Changing things up a bit is a good thing!
