Became this skein.....
Which was knitted up like this...
Gah...about 2" from this picture is when I ran out of yarn...
Note that first picture...yeah, I was saved, I had another braid! So, I did what any other spinner that had an extra braid of fiber....tore a hunk off and spun it up.
You see 40 more yards here in this wee little yarn cake....
The weight was more like worsted where the prior handspun was a sport/dk weight...
However, to finish the crown decreases...it didn't matter..
I.LOVE.this hat!! Wished it was colder! It fits perfect and the Finn does not bother me at all!
Norie hat by Gudrun Johnston
My handspun in Pope Mittens by Two if By Hand
US 5 needles
Mods: I did not knit the cats paw lace and started crown decreases after row 67.
Love this colorway. Have almost a full braid left and a skein that looks a bit different due to a different fiber and way of spinning. Interesting how that happens ;)
Sigh..will have to wait for next winter...sure hope we are still in a cold climate though....hmmmmm...
Not too thrilled about the yellow bullseye...you know I dislike yellow ;)

I love it Zonda!! The yellow is kinda fun. I've been meaning to make a Naylor Street hat with the handspun you gifted me, but Norie would work too! xoxo
LOVE IT! especially the yellow sunshine on the top :)
I want to make one of these...
Cute hat! The yellow adds a cute little pop at the top too.
Great hat, Zonda!
Matching gloves with the other braid? Love the hat - the yellow adds something to it ;0)
