WHAT A DAY TODAY HAS BEEN



We got several inches of snow today.  Luckily I'm officially off work until next year, so I didn't have to go out in it.

Since I was going to be at home, I decided to finally make something out of some of my hand-spun yarn.

It started as this:
 4oz of Colonial Border Leicester Mohair from Copperpot Woolies in Cowboy Up colorway.  Which I spun into this:
  Sorry the pic does not do the colors justice.

To finally become this cute, but extremely warm, little basic hat.
Not too bad for my first project from my hand-spun, you think?

Have a great weekend everyone.
