All that glitters...

It is ridiculous, and I'm sure just another of my major character flaws, but I am always sad when something I created goes to a new owner.  I mean this is a major problem for someone who makes an attempt at a pathetic living by selling handspun, knitted garments and mixed media pieces.  Anyway, my new plan (could this count as another resolution, whew 2008 is off to quite an overachieving start!) is to spin close to double the amount of yarn I wish to sell.  That way a little bit of my skein babies can stay with me and clutter my house forever.  And maybe, if they are lucky, someday,... in my free time,... they can become lovely, useful things like this hat ...and clutter my mudroom forever...

This skein was happy, bouncy corriedale wool spun with clumps of stung sequins, gold strung beads and lots of sparkly Angelina.  The yarn in it's natural state...

This is my hat by the way, not hers, which is why it looks rather large. I have a freakishly long and narrow head with enough hair for 6 people.  I would show you...but you might be permanently damaged.  So I must rely on trapping one of the natives into bonded servitude in order to get pictures...

One more picture...please...

Apparently we are done here...
