Wool 'n Silk

 I started out the day with another few hours of spinning and it was very relaxing.
 I had plenty of company!  We all like the sunshine from inside!
 The bobbin filled up pretty quickly with the 2 ply yarn.
 The next step is to wind it into a skein from the bobbin.  
I can also count the rotations to figure out the yardage for the new skein.
 I then tie off four points  to keep the skein under control while soaking and drying.  
It also keeps it neat when it is skeined  until I knit with it!
I now have enough yarn for a luxury pair of socks!

On a funny note, I use string to tie off the four 'corners' of the skein--
string that I save from cat food bags and from the bird seed bags!

SOME MORE BABY HATS

I added to the baby hat pile and even changed up the pattern with the finer yarn.  The one on the far left is really a pink;  I worked on it...
