During my stitch-in today, I finished putting together my revamped autumn wreath, and hung it on my front gate!

And I also finished the pink baby hat that I've been working on this week.

Now, I get to play with my new sock knitting loom!

Day 9

After a longish day, but a nice visit with my mom over lunch, I only had energy to put 5 more rows in the baby hat, but that included a yarn change:

Day 10

A few little things: I found some frames for a couple of small stitched pieces, I finally remembered to bring in the yarn that I washed over the weekend, and I finished the two-toned baby hat! (Weaving in all the ends was time-consuming.)

I detangled a few more tangles in the yarn I worked with on Day 5, and got it tamed into a ball:

Then, I wound 2 more skeins of yarn into washings skeins; these were a lot easier to wind, because they were pretty much brand new skeins that had been donated and left in a zip top bag:
