I found 100% wool yarn at Joann yesterday. Rare to find yarn in a store that isnt plastic, so I bought some to "vote" for better yarn.

Now I need to make something with it. 😅😣 DS14 could use a new hat.

Beautiful work!

My eldest has 6 months done on one of her "daily temperatures" afghans.

Another variation of this is to assign a color to a mood. Pick a predominant mood each day. They can be very pretty.

My eldest finished the daily temperature blanket for her younger sister. It weighs almost 8 pounds.

I’ve been spinning… and spinning… and not doing anything with the yarn… yet 🤣 but this will eventually be a sweater!

I'm so fascinated by all this. You go from sheep to wool to yarn to clothing. How cool is that! Maybe I should get some Angora goats or some Pygoras? Oh heck no, lol. What was I thinking?

Pygoras were on my wish list, but a the local fiber mill talked me out of it. They told me the wool is only usable for the first year and then it's too low of quality after that. But hey... thanks for reminding me I want a Pygora anyway. The fiber mill also talked me out of alpaca in the same conversation.

It's still a lot of work. I've seen hand made Tom Baker scarfs going for several hundred dollars.

He's the Doctor I grew up watching, too. I was upset that they didn't have him wearing the scarf when he was in Day of the Doctor (2013).



I have a few crocheted scarfs around here. Not sure where I put them last spring. 2 are mohair which is a bit of a pain to crochet. One I made a matching hat. I have some yarn I bought last year to make a shawl with. I need to get going on that.

My grandmother worked as the head surgical nurse... way back... on the 30s.

She always kept a crochet hook and small ball of cord in her pocket. She crocheted (is that really the correct spelling?? I hate English) small round lace things. Each the same. Once she had a huge pile her mom sewed them together unto a very large bed spread. I think matching shams too.

We also have a hand-knit Dr. Who scarf. The first scarf version. Ours is made from all hand dyed and some hand spun yarns.

I will take a photo tomorrow.
