Yeahs! and Woes!

Let's start out with the woes! Drop-spindle spinning is QUITE frustrating! The hardest part is flicking it correctly to get it to spin for a long time, allowing your other hands to pull on the fiber! I just can't get the hang of it! Here it is:



Now the yeahs! I have been going Nutzo with making hats. I just mailed out 4 of them yesterday!
CREATIONS: The first was for Nick, my friend from Massachusetts that I met on a mission trip 4.5 years ago! I made him a donation hat for his curly-haired head on his trip to Ireland with his church! I also sent on a little donation to go towards his trip :) I made my FIRST baby hat for little Octavian, and a hat for his mommy Rachel-Marie. Finally I made Nikki, my darling friend, a really funky hat using hand spun neon green yarn from knittydirtygirl!



SALES: I sold the Mynerva hat to a woman in the Netherlands who has a beautiful cat named Lotja [pronounced LOT-yuh]!! I sent out the Extra Tall Bohobo Whatwhat Hat to Julia in Philly. She wanted to wait until she came back to Lancaster to visit, but it's so COLD that I didn't want her to freeze with her new short haircut! I also sold the second version of the Earthen Bohobo hat. I am sending out the Autumn Dew Hat today!
