My first hand-spun hat

Earlier this week, I finally decided to do something with all of the hand-spun yarn I've been making. I picked out a commercially-spun brown wool, and tried my first color-worked piece. The gray is the yarn I made myself, from roving purchased at Rising Fawn Fibers, the same place I bought the raw fleece. I've worn it pretty much every day since I made it, and it's about my favorite thing ever. Also, anyone that accidentally sticks it in the washing machine will die a very painful death. (Sorry for the silly picture. I was eating scrambled eggs before rushing off to work!)
What's happening now?
--- Finally settled in to our new house (mostly)
--- Taking care of all our animals! Three chickens, a rabbit, a dozen finches, and two Alaskan huskies.
--- Working on turning our dirt-yard into something respectable
Who are we?
This blog follows the adventures of Taylor and Tine as they craft, cook, and turn their house into a home.
