Like a Baby

I enjoyed watching the Elizabeth Zimmermann Knitting lessons on DVD that I borrowed from the library. She is very entertaining!

She gave instructions for making Fair Isle style hats using two colors of yarn at the same time...

I didn't need to buy yarn for the project. My stash upstairs included a few balls of Icelandic yarn I got a few Christmases ago.

So I tried my hand at it.

I'm no expert - but I'm enjoying the challenge. It takes me an evening (or half a day) to complete one hat.

I also enjoyed Elizabeth Zimmermann's instructions on how to wash wool garments:  

Gently, in warm water - like a baby!

I''ll remember that!
