Friday's here!

Okay, it's finally Friday...I know, this was a short week, so next week is probably going to be hell, having to work all five days. Maybe it will snow and I'll have to stay home with the kids! I did hear a rumor that it's going to warm up a bit here in sunny Cincinnati...so no snow, but that's okay if it's going to be warm!


I'm posting pictures of the 'basket' that I knitted and felted and spun...my friend Linda in Hamilton gave me a big old bag of carded wool that she'd had prepped from several years of leftovers from spinning. She calls it the Beast. I spun it thickly and knitted a big giant hat, sort of, to make my bowl shape, crocheted some handles and tossed it in the washer on the hot/cold cycle for a couple of trips. Then I tossed it in the dryer for a while, put it on top of the dryer wrapped around a real basket for a few days. I think it could be firmer if I sent it through the wash/dry thing again, so I might try that this weekend. But for now, I love my Beast Basket, and it's holding some yarn implements next to my spinning wheel.
