Fiber arts update: we have achieved ~hat~
Bonus: WIP, and Hat, as modeled by my trusty assistant Yorick
all of this is handspun; the grey is "Polarfuch"/fine icelandic wool, the colors are superfine merino.
I honestly don't particularly enjoy crochet, but it feels good to have made a piece of clothing, however small, from scratch. Might try to add fingerless gloves, but I don't think I have enough yarn left.
/EDIT: slightly more info - the yarn's all spun worsted and as a 3-ply; the Icelandic was plied from singles, the Merino was chain-plied because I only had 10 grams per color. It's stuff meant for wet-felting, very fine and quite expensive, but it was still cheaper than paying for shipping, and the colors are really nice too. The "Polarfuchs" on the other hand is quite cheap, and something I intend to work with a lot more because it's just such a nice, rustic option. Spinning took me a couple of days, plus two or three more for crocheting. The hat is worked as a rectangle in back-loop only single crochets and sewn/cinched at the top. Could've turned out a bit longer tbh, but that's the risk of following standard patterns I guess.
