Spinning & Knitting FO's

Spinning:

I finished spinning and plying some of the fiber I bought while at SPA last month.

"Necco Wafer"
1 pound Mohair/Wool blend from Friends' Folly Farm
328 yards, bulky weight, 2-ply

This was nice fiber to spin. I am pretty happy with the way it came out; this was just the yarn I was going for (except for the few under plied sections).   I'm not sure what it will become; for now it will sit in my handspun stash and look pretty.

Knitting:

I knit one of the projects that I listed a couple of weeks ago as one of the "10 things I want to knit RIGHT NOW"

Pattern: Lena Hat by Gina House
Yarn: Sereknity Sock Options Perfect Sock, color - Indigo-go and a bit of my
handspun Sereknity alpaca/merino/silk, color Beach Glass, for the flower
Needles: Size 4 16" circular

Mods: The only mod I made was to do two extra repeats of the pattern to make a longer hat.

This hat was a joy to knit; the pattern was well written and easily memorized.  I'll definitely be knitting it again.

Clover certainly likes it!

Is there anything that Clover could model that wouldn't look wonderful on her?!

Great spinning. That yarn will look gorgeous as decoration and as whatever it eventually becomes. The hat is super cute too.
