Knitting with Your Handspun?

I just started working on a Baby Surprise Jacket with my Koolaid-dyed hand spun yarn:

What projects are you working on using your hand spun yarn? What have you made from yarn you have spun? What projects are you planning for your own yarn?

A while back I got some of Aloha Blu's Waimanalo Flowers...

It spun up into this..

And this week I knit the Elis Cowl

and then designed a hat to match the cowl...

Thank you Christina! We love you.

Sadly, I did not keep really good track of my progress on the hat... my bad... I'll see what I can do...

Thanks Bev... we are always sharing out spinning and dyeing, so I thought we should get a look at where all the yarn ends up.

Thanks, Cheryl, I've had lots of good comments about it. I still need to block it to even out the top edge.

Here's a suggestion, you might want to cover your head form with a plastic bag and use it for blocking.

I had thought of that, but it still would not smoothe out the edge and get rid of the puckers. I have a lid from a container that I think will work... I'll just pull the botton to the center of the other side of the lid...sort of like a plate, but not quite as large.
