well...

So I got a pretty great christmas present from my dad. I asked him for a skein winder that he built himself. I will be darned if I didn't get it! I will show you a pic when I remember to take one. Its big made from Maple using the instructions here. It is a bit rough but I love it!

Using my new skein winder I finally took the time to wind the cone yarn I have into a hank and wash it.

All washed and much better looking and soft! Get that oil stuff off of it makes a huge difference

I am working on the wimple for the MIL, and a hat for T. He has given me permission to set aside the sweater of Doom for a while so that I can make his poor bald head a hat. Again more pics soon. It is looking good however. I am using the Mission Falls that I bought a while back to make mittens (turns out I didn't buy enough yarn for mittens so it has just been sitting there waiting for a different project to come along) thankfully T likes the colors and is happy with the look of the hat so far.

I picked up some lovely Malabrigo in sunset recently and am now turning it into a wimple for Mop. I didn't like any of the wimple patterns that were on the web so I improvised. It's looking good so far!

Anywho I got stuff to do before I pick up the little'uns from school.
I leave you with a picture that Sis and I drew together...

Drawingly, Dee
