Tihs is one of the bits that is going into my Mom's stocking. She walks outside in all weather, at home and at the beach. I try to make sure she has a warm hat. She also has a tendency to put them on grandchildrens' heads. I carded and spun the brownish goldish yarn in this hat. I just spun the blue. My spinning is getting better because I was much more pleased with this yarn then the yarn I used the last time I spun. Steps at a time. There is still much to do for stockings and such.
But there is one person I do not need to worry about anymore. My Beloved has been looking at violins for over a year, and thinking about them longer. I got him one for his birthday and Christmas. He is so excited. His first lesson is next week but he has alreayd started practicing.
