Foofoo Beret!

Foofoo indeed! This hat is bunnylicious... all warm fuzzy Malabrigo handspun angora, with little bunnytail-ish pompoms. You could, of course, sub in a smoother yarn for a different look ;-)

And just so you know, the folks on my mailing list got this pattern totally 100% FREE... and I will probably do it again! So if you like being a super special awesome VIP who gets stuff for free, you might want to consider joining :-) I only send out emails to announce new patterns, so it's a pretty low-spam affair (and, of course, I will never share your info.)

I really like that soft, neutrals/pastels/dusty old feminine colors look, and I want to be the sort of person who surrounds myself in some sort of magical fairyland of prettiness, like this person or this person or especially this person. I do. It's so... pretty.

So, fine, color. I guess you win. I embrace you.



But someday I'm going to make JUST ONE ROOM pretty, ok?

Things are happening behind the scenes...

... I promise.

Meanwhile:

The beautiful rovings I got for Christmas from various family members and Vivians.



Carding! It is happening! And batts will be available in the etsy shop soon!



Bonus: I didn't even give myself a horrible case of textile lung this time. Always wear a mask.




Pog is a much more willing model than Rupert was:



She's surprisingly photogenic for someone a little ugly:





Rupe won't even try.



Yes, I realize I've become one of those crazy people who posts pictures of their pets all over the place. Sorry. They're around a lot.

I am also just about to add some stuff to the wedding planning blog, for those of you who were asking about it. Hooray!
