And we have a match.

I finished the matching scarflette yesterday, but three posts in one day --- I will make all attempts to deal with what is turning into an OCD by too frequent posting. (Or maybe I'm just really busy)

When you spin your own yarn and then knit it, you are bound to get an original design. What I have only discovered recently (through a conversation I had with my pal Judy) is that the yarn has it's own nature and that I did not need to have perfect yarn to work with it.

Now I am actually searching for different characteristics in the spinning and trying to see how to incorporate them into a design. There is a double pleasure in designing from the wool up.

When I was sitting in the cafe yesterday, a bunch of names of pieces came to me. They have not been designed yet. So I am giving myself a challenge......Reverse engineering hat and scarf design.....Titles first, and then design inspired by that.

Names of hats yet to be made......I will cross them off the list and provide photos once they are knit. This will be a limited edition collection.
