Handspun, Crocheted Hat, Ice on the roof

 Southern Cross Fibers Corriedale in Hummus and Figs, 1 oz each, 2-ply, 70 and 80 yards respectively. Already on the loom for a tape weave.

 

 And this is the Kombu, the main color in this bag of fiber which was gifted to me my a dear friend.  This is 4 oz, also 2-ply, but quite a bit heavier. I ended up with about 200 yards with 15 yards of N-ply in the small skein.  I'm going to put this right on the loom, so no bath yet.

 Sophia just crocheted this hat as a gift for a friend. This is freestyle crochet--no pattern. She was aiming for warm, pretty, and with earflaps. She said she spent extra time sewing the two layers together because she knows her friend will be wearing it out in the woods a lot, so she wanted it to be strong.

 Oh, and I came upon this interesting ice formation at the "office" today.  The snow sliding off the roof somehow maintained its shape and froze that way.
