Liz recently spun this amazing merino on her wheel.
After spinning the yarn, she used a technique called Navajo Plying.
It takes a single strand and turns it into a 3 ply. She figured it out and Tah Dah...awesome chunky yarn. I grabbed it and decided to knit up a fun silly hat.
Here it is so far...
Ends up looking like a hood with some tassels!

I just finished up the hat while Chase napped on me (he has a cold and wanted his mom)
Here's a picture.
I got news this morning that a childhood friend of mine had to deliver her
twin baby boys extremely early. Please pray for these babies, the mom, her husband and little boy at home. They weigh in at 2 lbs each. Every minute matters.
Happy Knitting
Joining in with Ginny.
