Picture Tagged!

I was tagged by Gina to do this.

Here are the rules:

* go to your 4th picture folder
* go to the 4th picture in the folder
* tell everyone 4 things about that picture
* tag 4 more people

My forth picture folder is: Roving to Yarn

The Forth picture is this one:
Berry Blitz Singles

It is kind of funny that this folder and picture came up. I have not spun anything in so long but have been thinking about it a lot lately. This particular skein actually ended up being a prize in my raffle to raise money for The 3 Day, something I plan to do again this year. It was also part of the Sweet Sheep Club which was great but I am pretty sure is not around any more.

It ended up looking like this.

Berry Blitz Handspun

It went to Keitha, whose blog I can not find anymore, but is on Ravelry as peaceangel.

How about, Amanda, Stephanie, Miriam and Megann as my tag-ees.

First FO of 2009

Happy New Year, everyone! I finished my Westside hat yesterday and blocked it last night and most of today. This thing did just not want to dry but the blocking made a huge difference so it was worth it.

Westside

I really love it. In fact it may be one of my favorite finished hats ever. I used Patons Classic Merino in the off white which has become my new go to color. I used magic loop and cabled without a cable needle. I think I need another one in a different color.
