And The Dream Beenie Is........  
#7-Eva/Atomheart!
congrats eva! beautiful hat and a great story behind it.
thanks to everyone for participating and thanks also for all the comments from you readers!!




New Stuff
actually spinning some yarn for sale! how long has it been since i done that? forever. i carded up a big chunky batt with mauve alpaca, mohair in grey, rust, orange, white and merino in pink and yellow. threw in plenty of baby camel down for softness and to tone done the color a bit. i am going to spin this super thick and thin just like the yarn i used in my power beenie. so it will be different colors but will knit up into that same texture.

when spinning though, i'm going to do something a little different from the first yarn and "wrap" it in a nice linen thread. basically, i'm just letting the thread wind on of it's own accord from the cone, which i placed on the floor right under the orifice. hopefully i'll get some pics and get it posted tomorrow along with the better pictures i took of mindy's deep sea scarf.

Power Beanie
Thanks ya'll!
We are all winners tho, each person's hat had such a great story and process behind it, it was so cool to read.
This offered a much needed break for my seemingly continuous job of changing poopy diapers and watching Sesame Street Old School.

Look for the pattern soon!

Wow, your yarns allways look so special.
And congratulations to Eva for winning the hat contest. I missed out on the voting, but looks like she didn“t need my vote. :)
