The hat is from the first Vogue Knitting on the Go Hats and Caps book. The whole project is part of my effort to use up bits and pieces out of the stash. It's almost embarrassing to admit how long I've had that yarn. Modeled by our young friend, Rowan. | |

I had a bag full of wool socks, worn out and far beyond mending but such great socks! I felted them and cut out the shaggy bits and with a little scrounging I retrieved enough fabric from two pairs to make a top for a 14" pillow form. |

This was a project with a surprise ending. It started as a throw in Fiesta La Boheme, Stargazer colorway. After two skeins it wasn't the right length or width for a throw so it turned into a skirt. Looks pretty festive. Modeled by my daughter, Kathryn Barcus |

Matt's birthday sweater. It's very warm . The hat is one strand of handspun yak hair with two of alpaca. Matt is known to a group of his friends as Yakboy. I have no idea why. The sweater is wool, alpaca, and mohair. Modeled by my son, Matthew Hammond |
