I've also been working on hedera for my new SIL, jenny
i'm using frog tree alpaca in a fingering weight. it's a little too thin for my size 2 needles but i kind of doubt my SIL will wear them enough to wear them out. but who knows.
i had a pretty sweet christmas and santa told my mom that i needed this
and this
so i made some of these
and i started this
it's monkey. cookie is a genius at sock patterns that intrigue me. pomotomomotatomomus is on the list too.

ReplyDeleteI really like the model you used to display your talented hat creation. By the way that is really a nice hat. I like the beads too.
ReplyDeleteI recognize those hairy legs wearing those nice wool socks. Boy "Pub Hair" I mean, "Poo Bear" has really grown up.
I'm very proud of you Rachel
