Monday Stuff

Posted on November 13th, 2006 by Deb

img_2354 Well, I finished my Dad’s hat . . . modelled here by a candlestick, which is why it looks rather pointy.

And, didn’t I tell you the blue was so dark as to look almost black? I just hope Dad’ll believe me when I tell him it’s really blue (grin).

But the important thing is that it’ll keep his head warm, right?

img_2359 Now, here’s a closer look at my raspberry-colored yarn. Clean, dry, and just so pretty. It actually looks more pink in this photo than in person. In real life, it’s a little darker.

This stuff is SO going to be a sweater for me. Cardigan, I think.

And, have I mentioned that it’s SOFT, too?

img_2350_copy Have I mentioned that Chappy is a thief? He has a tendency to steal things like slippers, napkins, socks . . . towels.

Like, this one that he stole out of the laundry basket this afternoon.

img_2353 Or, well, maybe this one doesn’t actually count as stealing.

Because, well, it DOES kind of have his name on it.

    Beuatiful raspberry tweedy yarn. Yup, my kitties are thieves too. My one kitty likes to steal my bras. The other enjoys making off with my pyjama t-shirt!

    the more i look at that yarn, the more i lust for the roving. i’m gonna have to find me some. (and i don’t wear pink!)

    and, at least in that picture, it really does look black, lol

    The raspberry yarn is really beautiful. And I’m sure your dad will love his hat – it’s a great design.

    That yarn is luscious, like a raspberry smoothie.

    Nice hat! And yes, keeping dad’s head warm is the point. Your yarn is beautiful! You should definitely have a nice cardi out of it. Chappy a theif? Say it isn’t so. ;)

    I really like Dad’s hat. Also, the more I see of the peppermint yarn, the more I like it. I am really looking forward to your cardigan. And lastly, Chappy most certainly didn’t steal the towel. He’s just trying to get something started. Maybe a game of Tag:P

    Oh, lovely yarn! What pattern will be worthy of it?…

  15. Stephanie // Nov 14, 2006 at 2:28 pm

    Awesome handspun. I can’t wait to see how it knits up. The hat is great – I can tell that’s blue. And Chappy, well, he can’t help it that he’s just so cute.
