YST Episode 132 A Hand spun hat and a mystery yarn

Feb 17, 2016

My first completed project for this year of knitting with my hand spun yarn was a garter stitch hat made from a cabled yarn from a Jacob fleece.  This was a true start to finish project, I bought the fleece raw, processed it, spun it and then knit the hat,

The inspiration for the hat came from the book HomeSpun HandKnit by Linda Ligon.  The pattern was the garter stitch cap.

The second knitting project started in Jan 2016 was the Painted Sky Cowl provided free by KnittingFever.  I am using a worsted spun 2 ply yarn I also made from the Jacob.
