More Warm Hat Wednesday Prizes!

By -



Wooly Wonka's own handspun wooly goodness. The snow was getting on my lens this Christmas Eve morning, so that explains the little blurs. They are real wooly wonders.

The grey is 230 yards of Grey Iclandic. Single ply.

The delicious browns is a skein that I dont know the name of. Trust me. It is incredibly beautiful. Since Bianca and Darcy and I did NOT win any of the alpaca yarn naming contest yarns,( altho, I think we deserved to!) I'm going to name this yarn. See what happens when I cannot knit?

So I'm calling it : Chocolate Lab Who Rolled in the Snow.

Just one more Warm Hat Wednesday post before winners announced on January 5th when all hats are due.




I'll talk to you in the comments. :)

hey - didn't you see me not win either even though I came up with a number of very witty names for every single colorway?

So I'll name the grey one - hmmm. what should I name it? Actually I'm much more a color person so it's hard for me to come up with something that doesn't sound yucky and this does look lovely so how about:

Slate junko's wing

(a slate junko is a bird, btw, that is common at our back yard feeder this time of year)

And happy holidays everyone

OH Elaine! Slate Junkos Wing is a great name. We love the little juncos here. I did NOT notice your name in the contest. Truth be told, I quit reading them and just sent mine in kind of Grinchy like. Elaine, you win the name the Icelandic Grey naming contest. Hmmmmmm, something funky coming your way........

Well at least I never wrote - you chose what name when you could have chosen mine? Actually I didn't notice you either (Kathy is just too common a name) but I did see Darcy because of the photo.

Well, I'm feeling lucky about the hat contest. Really lucky. Like really. :-)

And the junkos are sweet aren't they in a non-flashy way.

I like both the junkos and the lab. They both have a wonderful smooshiness look to them.

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's their boy.  Insufficient inf

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I
