After spinning and dyeing my small batches of yarn, my fingers were itching for a project to use it on.
Since I had small skeins to work with, I needed a small item to knit.
So off I went to the wonderful Purl Bee and found their Whit’s Knits: Fun Kid’s Hat. It required just the amount of yarn I had with a little left over.
I started knitting.
It was fun watching the colors meld together. And the unevenness I was so worried about when I was spinning actually worked out quite nicely.
Making the pom-pom.
All done.
The colors remind me of those big soft squares of juicy bubble gum.
Hand-spun wool.
Hand-dyed yarn.
Hand-knit hat.
Kool-Aid and bubble gum.
Life is good.
