Head games, in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do you do it baby?
Head games
well, not the type of head games that foreigner sang about! more along the line of hats, and the desire for a good warm one when fall weather puts a chill in the air!
here are a few:
at the end of september, i took a class in felted hats at Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival (offf). our wonderful instructor, carin engen, led us through the process from beginning to end and this was the end product from that experience! kewl, eh? i think so!
after class, i picked up some merino fiber while shopping in the vendor areas and repeated the process about a week later just to see if i could do it my self and, voila, i think i've got another winner!!
i may have shared this little number in an earlier post but in case i didn't i'll run it by you again. i picked up this roving at the black sheep gathering in late june in eugene, oregon. it is from blarney yarn in the colorway "sour apple II". i used my drop spindle to spin it during the 'tour de fleece' in july. the pattern is "urchin" by ysolda teague. the pattern is at knitty.com.
this hat is from the purl soho website and is called the "thank you hat". i had just enough malabrigo rios, leftover from a shawl i knit earlier this summer, to complete it! whew!
this hat pattern is "wurm" a freebee on ravelry that has been on my hit list for a long time! the yarn is twisted from blue moon fiber arts in the colorway: sea scum, sea scum run. this yarn has tried to have a life in several other projects but this, at long last, is where it finally has found a home!
think i'll take a break from hats for a moment and pound out a few cowls and such! i've got some new yarn from miss babs that really wants to get needled!
oh, by the way, 10/22/2012 - finished! 'nuff said! go beavs!
