Title: All around my hat...

Just had to share, I'm sooooo proud of myself! 

I spun it, plied it, knitted it - and now I wear it!

The hat is great Sally and to think that you spun, plied and knitted it yourself is even better.
Well done  :thumbsup:

Eeek, scary!  Thanks for the thought but I'm nowhere near good enough yet, maybe in a year or two's time.  (That pic's fuzzy for a reason!  ;))

Thank you ... curtsey...   Well I guess I could make woollie waistcoats to sell to upland farmers tupping with Blue-faced Leicester sheep... (there's a reason they're blue!  ;) Brrrr!  :D)
