Here we have Elle modeling the results of Sunday afternoon's Open Spin at Tabby Tree Weaver.
This is about 130 yards of hand painted Merino from Yarnhollow, plied with a charcoal Merino wool from Hello Yarn. I still have more of each roving to spin and ply, so I may actually end up with enough yardage to make more than a hat- possibly a cowl and some fingerless mitts. Like this and these.
I haven't choked my vacuum cleaner yet, but I have emptied the canister a few times in my quest to get Back to Normal now that the kids are back in school. I didn't even mind the 6 o'clock alarm. And while I did not flit through the house singing to woodland animals and harmonizing with a blue bird perched on my shoulder, I sure felt like I could, such was the feeling of having the house to myself. Even if it is spent cleaning.
Love,
Kim

I think I would wear the skein just as Elle is. Cowls are in style, you know.
I remember that feeling of having the boys back in school after the long holiday break....delicious! After my mitts marathon,I have started a cowl.I highly recommend it!
