eryn_ spun me some yarn-- purple mix, red mix, and cream-colored. There were three balls of about the same size, and here's what I did with one of them:
( pix! )
It was REALLY awesome to work with yarn and know that someone actually MADE that yarn, thinking about it the whole time.
I meant to take a pic of the leftover yarn, but I can't find the leftovers-- I had a couple of pieces left over, totaling under 2 feet. In fact, I had to spit-splice the wool for the bindoff- you can see in the front pic where the edge changes color from light blue to purple just over the middle of my eyebrow. That's where I spliced in another foot of yarn out of a tail end from elsewhere in the hat.
