Wet Felted Wool Hat
The latest wet felted wool project was this… a hat! My son-in-law got a great hat for Christmas, knit, and with well formed ear coverings… so I decided I’d make one for me out of wool. I copied the pattern and went for it. I was really down to the tail ends of my wool……

Love Days
Wednesday was an All Hands On Deck kind of day. We were gathering our allotment to bring in the last of the cows, and since there are five ranches that share that allotment, we had quite the crew! Of course, everyone had to feed what livestock they already have at home, we’ve been letting those…
