handspun jade aveline

I finished another Aveline hat - Handspun Jade Aveline! Woohoo! I love this pattern, and it calls for about as much yarn as I get from 4 oz.

This hat used yarn I spun in October. I could see a real difference between it and the yarn I used for the previous handspun Aveline, which I spun in January. I've become more consistent!

my first handspun hat!

I made a hat out of my handspun! I'm so excited! It's another Aveline hat, using my first handspun of 2009.

I started with superwash merino roving (colorway 'hot') from http://juliespins.etsy.com.

It became a 3-ply.
