			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hot damn, it&#8217;s been a long time since I updated. I&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For now, here&#8217;s a project I worked up very quickly this weekend. This is some shetland &amp; angora fiber from <a href="http://www.oregonwool.com/index.html?page=http%3A//www.oregonwool.com/cgi-bin/woolnet_show_member.cgi%3FID%3D78" target="_blank">Malia Shetlands</a> in Monroe:</p>
<p><a title="Shetland &amp; Angora Fiber by CDR1970, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdr1970/4320965797/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2688/4320965797_9ed66e4518.jpg" alt="Shetland &amp; Angora Fiber" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>Here it is on the bobbin &#8212; 2 plies, somewhat bulky. I didn&#8217;t bother measuring it because I knew I was going to just turn it into a hat right away, regardless:</p>
<p><a title="Shetland &amp; Angora Handspun by CDR1970, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdr1970/4321699240/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2724/4321699240_b6fa8e978c.jpg" alt="Shetland &amp; Angora Handspun" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<p>And here&#8217;s the finished hat &#8212; just a basic single crochet in a spiral with a bit of decreasing around the ears to make it snug:</p>

<p><a title="Shetland &amp; Angora Handspun Beanie by CDR1970, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdr1970/4320965823/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2679/4320965823_c2926cbfe0.jpg" alt="Shetland &amp; Angora Handspun Beanie" width="448" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>I love this color &#8212; I&#8217;m hoping to find more of this fiber, because I&#8217;d like to make a thinner, smoother yarn with it as well.</p>
<p>Well, that&#8217;s it for now&#8230; be back before another month has passed. I hope. I mean, yeah, I will. You bet.</p>
