Yet Another!

Okay I finished yet another skein for a Thorpe! I love how it turned out! This skein is destined to be a Thorpe for my big boy who loves green!

The fiber is from Funhouse Fibers. Thanks Miki!




Oh and we are going on a little family adventure today, so I will have an adventure to share tomorrow:)

Monday Morning

This is how the morning is going at our house.

Notice, no boys on this side of the table doing homework!



Notice, the look on this boys face as he is doing his homework!



Notice I need lots of cashmere and coffee to get through Monday morning:)



Oh and some finished knitting pictured on the only boy who is awake!

Go Ducks!

The Go Ducks colorway has been knit into a hat. I barley had enough! I really hope the boy I made this for likes it, yellow and green together are not my colors:)



Overall I am pleased with how it turned out!


I have fiber on the wheel for the next hat and I just purchased a bump from a friend who just started her very own shop. Her shop is Fun House Fibers, check her out!

More Thorpe

I finished another Thorpe this morning:)I love this pattern. It is so fun to spin for and knit up! All of these hats I am making are going to be great Christmas gifts!!!





The next boy on my list is a huge Oregon Ducks fan so I spun this yarn to make him a Thorpe. I think the colors turned out just perfect!

Finished Gregory

I just finished spinning the Gregory colorway! I love how it turned out. I got 460 yards of fingering weight superwash merino! I think I will make that sweet boy of mine some socks! I hope he will wear them:)





I also have some merino on the wheel that I hope to have finished tomorrow. It is for a hat for my best friends son for the holidays! I am going to make lots of hats for little boys this year so I have to get cracking!

Hats!

I knit a couple of Thorpe Hats out of handspun this week! This pattern is great. It is a super fast knit, easy as pie and you get something really cute when you are done knitting! I am making these for lots of little boys on my Christmas list!
