I finished the crochet hat last night!

Pattern: crochetcrosiahome.blogspot.com/2023/08/ladi...

Yarn: Red Hill Fiber DK Targhee wool in "Candy Queen"
November 13, 2025 at 5:03 PM
New spiral crochet hat in progress - for me, not a shop sample. I'm using a size F hook with this DK yarn from Red Hill Fiber - 100% Targhee wool in the colorway "Candy Queen." I bought 2 hanks, so if the hat only uses one I'll make matching fingerless mitts or a cowl.

I had some PTO to use before my anniversary date and used it to measure warps and start some kitchen towels as gifts. I'm using Peaches & Creme yarns in the warp and weft, an 8 dent heddle on my 24" rigid heddle loom. I also took it to my LYS yesterday to weave during their Yarn Crawl.

My hank of merino yarn is mostly dry - I gave it a soak in hot water yesterday after plying then winding it onto my umbrella swift.

Yesterday was the final day of #TourDeFleece and I'm so happy with how this yarn turned out.

Plying is finished. You can see that the last part I plied, which was the first part I spun plied against itself, is thicker than the rest. If I were spinning for a specific project, it would be helpful to keep a sample, to compare against as I spin, to stay consistent.

Tonight I spun on my bed while finishing the audiobook "Becoming Madam Secretary" by Stephanie Dray.

I found Frances Perkins' story absolutely fascinating and inspiring, in particular her shepherding Social Security into existence and breaking several glass ceilings for women.

More #TourDeFleece spinning progress on the EEW6. I love watching the colors blend and change as I draft out the fiber from the ball and it winds in layers onto the bobbin.

This week of #TourDeFleece I've been spinning a rainbow braid of #MerinoWool on my #ElectricEelWheel6.

Quick crochet project - a headband using Coboo yarn and a hair elastic. Planning on making more with different yarns and stitch combinations (this was all single crochet).

Yesterday I started this crochet shawl, using the thick & thin wool yarn I spun from the Red Lion Dry Goods farmhouse blend roving.

I finished the first 2 hanks yesterday. I took the 3rd hank to @redhillfiber 's weekly Fiber Friends and finished it there - Lindsey took the photo for me.

The Farmhouse yarns are nearly dry (just slightly damp at the bottom). The close-up photos are more color accurate.

My finished stealth log cabin scarf (since I didn't use 2 solid yarns the pattern is somewhat obscured). I used wool yarns from @redhillfiber and also found my axe shawl pin there. I plan to crochet an ear warmer with leftover yarn to coordinate.

Tonight I followed another tutorial by @floortjesart to create this mandala. I love the gradient effect on the black background.

Finished Moorland Puff Stitch Hat using a hank of @wildsagewool DK. I had to shorten it a few rounds. I'll weave in the ends tomorrow before dropping it off at @redhillfiber . Aren't the colors @indigoguineafiber chose for this yarn lovely?

Progress on the Moorland Puff Stitch Hat. Another crochet shop sample for Red Hill Fiber , using a cake of DK weight Wild Sage Wool .

I just finished this Cute Bird #Procreate drawing following @floortjesart 's tutorial.

Tonight I followed the Cute Fox tutorial by @floortjesart . It's really interesting how some of the digital brushes really act like they're pushing around the paint. I cleaned up the edges of my fox's ears with the Turpentine brush as an eraser.

I finished another #ArtWithFlo Procreate tutorial tonight.

Another #ArtWithFlo tutorial this evening. This one was relatively quick, definitely beginner-friendly. I didn't add as much glowy mist into the mountain layers as she did, I like the darker look.

Whoops, I realized I forgot to post the Storybook cottage I drew following another #ArtWithFlo tutorial last week.

Last night I followed #ArtWithFlo 's Winter Bear #Procreate tutorial. I think it turned out pretty cute!

I followed an #ArtWithFlo Procreate tutorial tonight to get more comfortable with digital drawing. It's definitely a trust the process thing, layers, masks, and textured brushes do wonders.

New weaving in progress, Caron Colorama Halo O'Go (from my stash) on my 24" rigid heddle loom. And a photo of my cats, who like to help with any dangling pieces of yarn.

Made some spinning progress last night and today. This is bobbin 2, spun really fine on my Electric Eel Wheel 6. It's wool, I don't recall at the moment what type. I think it's one I bought awhile back from Nic White .
