Remember this yarn?

My friend (Valerie's friend) Laura
commissioned me to make her some mittens. Here they are fairly big and bulky.

I washed and
dried the wool mittens and they shrunk down, and tightened up to fit a bit better. They're not quite felted...but almost.

I made her this hat to match. As I was
finishing the mittens the yarn spoke to me and told me that they couldn't go on to fulfill their lives without a hat to make them a set. The hat was improvised. Lets just say I learned a lot.

My mom tried to swipe Laura's hat. I guess that means there MIGHT be one in order for her too. Good thing I like knitting so much.

I also
finished this hat a while back. It's the Foliage hat. I love the pattern. I couldn't think of a purple dragon so I named this hat Barney...but I don't think Barney has scales...any suggestions?
