Hats worked on the loom.
The 'base' yarn for these is Brown Sheep WW. Which I have found to be very warm, soft and snuggly. The problem with using it for these hats worked on the loom, is it really needs another yarn with it because it comes out so flimsy. Not a big deal. It's just that warmth-wise, it's not needed! But adding color is always fun!!

Just as each of us has one body with many members,
and these members do not all have the same function,
so in Christ we who are many form one body,
and each member belongs to all the others.
We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.
Romans 12:4-6

We went over to the river yesterday. First thing we noticed were all these tiny fish going over the dam. Well, you know me, I had to get a closer look! So I climbed down the steps to the water.

I used RedHeart TLC yarn in Light Purple.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-
His good, pleasing and perfect will.

A couple of pictures from the beaches in MI from last Oct.
OTN: I have a child's sweater just coming off. I need to finish seaming it up and it will be done! (Picture to be posted tomorrow!) Yarn is sitting here next to me waiting to get cast on for the next sweater! I do have yarn gathered up and cast on for a mitered square sweater. I also have a couple hats on needles and an Irish Hiking Scarf.
There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan
that can succeed against the Lord.
Prov. 21:30
