Escaping Suburbia

Hot damn, it’s been a long time since I updated. I’ve gone through a few job related changes recently and have just been too distracted to think much about the blogs. Hoping to change that, though.

Also, my little 365 project is so not happening. It was feeling too chore-like, not fun, so I stopped. I do have a few shots to share over the next few days though.

For now, here’s a project I worked up very quickly this weekend. This is some shetland & angora fiber from Malia Shetlands in Monroe:

Here it is on the bobbin — 2 plies, somewhat bulky. I didn’t bother measuring it because I knew I was going to just turn it into a hat right away, regardless:

And here’s the finished hat — just a basic single crochet in a spiral with a bit of decreasing around the ears to make it snug:

I love this color — I’m hoping to find more of this fiber, because I’d like to make a thinner, smoother yarn with it as well.

Well, that’s it for now… be back before another month has passed. I hope. I mean, yeah, I will. You bet.
